According to CoinGlass, over $55 million of long positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours.
The pullback has been attributed to the Mt. Gox repayment schedule, which is set to begin its repayment of approximately $8.5 billion worth of BTC to its creditors beginning in early July.
In the last month, the price of Bitcoin has plunged 14% from the $71,789 resistance zone, data from GeckoTerminal shows.

The Bitcoin price briefly crossed the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $58,487 before rebounding back, making this level the immediate critical support level.
However, the BTC price still trades below the 50-day SMA, which coincides with the prolonged BTC dive from the $71,789 resistance level.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also drops below the 50-midline level to trade at 32, an indication that sellers have an upper hand over buyers.
According to the Bitcoin price analysis, BTC could retrace more in the coming weeks, breaching the $58,487 support level, as the sellers exert more pressure. In this scenario, the BTC price could retrace further to find a cushion against downward pressure at $55,752.
Conversely, the RSI is trading within the oversold region, which signals an incoming consolidation phase as the bulls aim to push the token up. If the bulls stage a bullish trend reversal, BTC could soar over the bullish pennant pattern, targeting $66,273 (50-day SMA).
In the long term, the Bitcoin price bulls could push the token over to the $90,000 level.
Meanwhile, some investors are turning to Bitcoin-themed tokens that would be leveraged to a market rebound. One such coin is 99Bitcoins (99BTC), which has already raised more than $2.3 million in its presale.
