<p>The leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin has experienced a price drop of 7%. As a result of this drop, traders with long positions have lost over $256 million. Despite the losses, analysts believe there is nothing to be afraid of amid the current tension in the Middle East. Equally, analysts have noted that this is a ‘normal drop’ for Bitcoin.</p>

<p>Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor also talked about the development. He <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1779279505439248417" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">noted</a> that the chaos is good for the performance of BTC.</p>
<p>However, crypto trader Rekt Capital <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1779089513031020809" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">opined</a> that BTC will likely resume its uptrend soon while noting that it has to experience a short-term drop. “Bitcoin will retrace deep enough to convince you that the Bull Market is over,” Rekt said on X. Bitcoin experienced a crash to trade at $60,919 before coming back to find support around the $62,000 mark.</p>

<p>According to CoinMarketCap <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">data</a>, BTC is presently trading at $63,858. The recent price drop came with implications as over $319 million in leveraged positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours. According to CoinGlass, the liquidations involved $62.5 million in short positions and about $256 million in long positions.</p>
<p>With BTC still experiencing volatility, traders are anticipating the worst. If Bitcoin returns to its previous price of $67,000, over $1 billion in shorts would face liquidation. The issue is not only affecting traders in the Bitcoin market with the entire market registering a loss of over $959 million in liquidations with about 253,554 traders affected.</p>
