Reserve

After a quiet weekend in which it stood primarily around $63,000, BTC went on the offensive during the Monday morning Asian trading session but was stopped at just under $65,000. 
The subsequent rejection brought some more volatility to the market, which has liquidated over 60,000 traders on a daily scale. 
Bitcoin’s price actions were quite positive in the past several days, especially since the US Federal Reserve <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-above-62k-us-stock-market-down-and-more-feds-rate-cut-aftermath/" data-wpel-link="internal">cut</a> the key interest rates in the country by 0.5% on Wednesday. BTC reacted with immediate price fluctuations but the bulls prevailed and drove the asset north, culminating in a price <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-btc-price-touched-64k-solana-sol-explodes-9-daily-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal">surge</a> to over $64,000 on Friday morning. 
The cryptocurrency failed to keep going up and lost some momentum during the weekend. As reported, it traded in a tight range of <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/these-are-this-weeks-top-performers-as-bitcoin-btc-calms-at-63k-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal">around $63,000</a> for the most part. 
More volatility ensued on Sunday evening and Monday morning. First, BTC dropped to $62,400, shot up to $64,000, slipped by a grand and a half again, and initiated an impressive leg up hours ago. 
This resulted in a price surge to a four-week high of $64,800 (on Bitstamp). Yet, the bears were quick to intercept and stop BTC’s rally. As of now, the asset trades about $1,000 lower.

Many altcoins mimicked BTC’s performance, but some, such as ETH and BNB, have gained more than 2% on a daily scale. ETH stands above $2,650, while BNB has neared $600. 
This substantial volatility has harmed over-leveraged traders, with almost 62,000 such market participants being wrecked on a daily scale. The total value of liquidated positions is up to $165 million, according to CoinGlass. 
The single-largest liquidated position actually involved ETH and was worth $2.73 million. It took place on Binance.
