In the last day alone, over $330 million was liquidated from the crypto market and the majority of this has been from short traders who expect prices to fall once again.</p>

<p class="p2">Coinglass data <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" rel="nofollow">shows</a> that the last 24 hours have been brutal for crypto traders.

<p class="p2">Contrary to the established trend, <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/btc/bitcoin-price-soars-70k/">Bitcoin did not lead liquidations</a> this time around, instead falling behind Ethereum. This is understandable as the Ethereum price had risen over 20% in the 24-hour period, whereas the Bitcoin price maintained gains of around 6%.</p> 
<p class="p2">Ethereum liquidations accounted for around 32% of the total figure, coming out to $105.13 million at the time of writing. The largest single liquidation event also happened on an ETH-USDT pair on the Huobi exchange, costing the trader $3.11 million.</p> 
<p class="p2">In constrast, Bitcoin liquidations came out to $96.53 million, but just like Ethereum, the figure was made up by a majority of short traders. Following behind Bitcoin is <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/solana-leaves-competition-in-the-dust-blazing-speed-to-fuel-price-surge/">Solana</a> with liquidations of $21.53 million. Other coins which saw substantial liquidations include <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/dogecoin/dogecoin-forms-symmetrical-triangle-rally-on-the-horizon/">Dogecoin</a> with $7.42 million and <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/altcoin/is-the-pepe-dream-over-dissecting-the-factors-behind-the-meme-coins-price-tumble/">PEPE</a> with $4.3 million.</p> 
<h2 class="p2" id="bitcoin-and-ethereum-lead-market-rally">Bitcoin And Ethereum Lead Market Rally</h2> 
<p class="p2">The market rally that has shaken the market in the last day has <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/eth/ethereum-soars-20-eth-etf-rumors/">mostly been led by Ethereum</a>, with Bitcoin throwing in support. The <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-vs-sec-update-today/" rel="nofollow">United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</a> asked exchanges to update their 19b-4 filings, which are important to any Spot ETFs being approved.</p> 
<p class="p2">Given this, the market sentiment had picked up as the expectation for the approval of <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/us-sec-set-to-make-decision-on-ethereum-spot-etfs/" rel="nofollow">Spot Ethereum ETFs</a> spread. During this time, Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas also reviewed their approval odds for the funds, taking it from a low 25% to a high 75%.</p> 
<p class="p2">During this time, the price of Ethereum went from trending around $3,100 to rising above $3,700. At the same time, the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-price-historical-1200-surge/">Bitcoin price</a> jumped above $71,000, triggering one of the best days for the crypto market so far in 2024.</p>
