Per Coinglass data, only 11% of the liquidations, worth $29 million, belong to short-position holders. In total, more than 102,000 traders have been liquidated in the mentioned timeframe. 
Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>) is currently leading the chart with over $67 million in liquidations in 24 hours. The asset’s price briefly plunged below the $58,000 mark earlier today, resurfacing FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) within the market.

The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>), isn’t far from <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-price-nears-key-support-riot-mara-and-clsk-stocks-at-risk/">Bitcoin</a> with $63.6 million in liquidations. ETH is down by 4.4% in the past 24 hours and is trading at $3,215 at the reporting time. 
Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, witnessed $112 million in liquidations with a 42% share of the total amount. OKX comes in second with $87 million in liquidations.&nbsp; 
According to data from Coinglass, the global cryptocurrency open interest decreased by 4.7% in the past 24 hours and is currently hovering around $58.5 billion.&nbsp; 
Lower market volatility and liquidations would be expected with sideways movements as the open interest plunges.&nbsp; 
Data from CoinGecko <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/global-charts" target="_blank" rel="">shows</a> that the global crypto market capitalization recorded a 3.4% decline over the past day, dropping to $2.29 trillion. This level has not been seen since May 1 when the market saw a short-term bullish momentum.&nbsp; 
It’s important to note that market movements are unpredictable amid market-wide FUD. A Glassnode report on July 3 revealed that Bitcoin investors are showing “indecision” as the price <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-stuck-in-indecision-trajectory-as-it-fails-to-break-64k-glassnode-says/">remains</a> below the $64,000 mark.
