CryptoQuant Analyst Warns of Prolonged Recovery Period After Massive BTC Liquidations
The analyst noted that the recent BTC price plunge has been devastating for long position holders, with the size of the long liquidation being the largest in the past year. The long squeeze, which forces investors to sell off their long positions at a loss, has also been significant.
Despite the severe impact of the market crash, the analyst warned against expecting an immediate rebound in Bitcoin’s price. Historical data suggests that it can take several months for the market to recover from such significant liquidations. The analyst pointed out that it took a couple of months, from August to October in 2023, before the price started to bounce back.
