During this period, <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/exciting-news-tbtc-now-available-on-solana-network/" data-wpel-link="internal">Solana</a> saw a 16% increase, and <a href="https://coin-turk.com/ethereum-gelistiricisi-virgil-griffith-serbest-birakilacak" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a> achieved 4% daily gains. Data indicates that over $388 million in short positions were liquidated in the general crypto market in the last 24 hours, contributing to a total of $751.33 million in liquidations across various central exchanges. 
Liquidations occur when an investor’s position is automatically closed due to insufficient funds to cover the losses. This situation arises when market movements are unfavorable for the investor’s position, leading to the depletion of the initial margin or collateral.

Bitfinex analysts have updated their price predictions for Bitcoin, estimating that the largest crypto asset could reach a level between $100,000 and $120,000 by the fourth quarter of 2024. Bitfinex analysts made the following statement: 
<blockquote> 
 “Our analysis predicts that a serious price target of $100,000 to $120,000 will be reached by the fourth quarter of 2024, and that the total crypto market value will hit a cycle peak sometime in 2025.” 
</blockquote> 
Analysts described the introduction of multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs in January as bringing “passive demand” for Bitcoin and commented on this topic: 
<blockquote> 
 “Demand is coming largely from investors who perceive Bitcoin as a store of value rather than a volatile asset to be traded, which has been the case for several years before the launch of ETF funds.”

The GM 30 Index, representing the top 30 cryptocurrencies, rose 5.69% to 133.15 in the last 24 hours.
