Liquidation

Liquidation occurs when a trader’s collateral is no longer sufficient to cover their leveraged position’s losses, triggering an automated forced closure by the exchange's liquidation engine. It is a critical risk-management mechanism that ensures the solvency of lending protocols and derivative platforms. In 2026, the focus has moved toward MEV-resistant liquidation models that protect users from predatory "cascades." This tag provides essential information on maintenance margins, health factors, and how to avoid liquidation in high-volatility environments.

Bitcoin Crashes Below $109K As Crypto Markets Face Liquidations

The post Bitcoin Crashes Below $109K As Crypto Markets Face Liquidations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Around 200,000 traders have been liquidated to the tune of more than $900 million over the past 24 hours as Bitcoin fell to a seven-week low, slashing its gains after the Federal Reserve chair signaled interest rate cuts at Jackson Hole last week. The majority of liquidations were long positions, according to CoinGlass, which came as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dropped below $109,000 on Coinbase, its lowest price since July 9. “Selling pressure intensified as a large holder offloaded 24,000 BTC, triggering a wave of liquidations,” said Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst at BTC Markets. The asset has now corrected by 12% since its Aug. 14 all-time high of just over $124,000, and is down 7% since Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday when he hinted at easing monetary policy. “We have to go through the tough liquidation days so that we can go up,” said CoinGecko co-founder Bobby Ong on Monday. Meanwhile, goldbug Peter Schiff on Tuesday predicted a fall to $75,000 before adding, “Sell now and buy back lower.” BTC fell below $109,000 on Coinbase on Tuesday. Source: TradingView “Capital is rotating out of risk, with thin weekend liquidity amplifying swings. Ethereum remains a focus for institutions, but the market is now weighing whether this is a pause in the uptrend or the start of a deeper pullback,” Lucas added in a note seen by Cointelegraph. September is usually a bearish month during crypto bull market years, with significant pullbacks seen in the ninth month in 2017 and 2021. Ether is holding up As a result of Bitcoin’s 2.8% daily decline, total market capitalization has dropped below $4 trillion as crypto markets wipe out all of last week’s gains. Almost $200 billion has exited the space, sending the total cap back down to $3.84 trillion. Related: Bitcoin late longs wiped…

Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Prediction for August 27

The post Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Prediction for August 27 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Dogecoin price today is trading at $0.210, consolidating inside a broad symmetrical triangle that has guided August’s action. The structure is tightening with higher lows meeting descending resistance near $0.226. This compression suggests a breakout is approaching, with $0.226 as the first upside pivot and $0.206 as the immediate base to defend. What’s Happening With Dogecoin’s Price? DOGE price dynamics (Source: TradingView) On the daily chart, DOGE is holding the $0.21 zone, aligning with the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement at $0.218. Repeated rebounds from this level confirm strong buyer interest, though overhead resistance at $0.226 (Fib 0.382) has capped every rally attempt this month. Above this, the next hurdles sit at $0.238 (Fib 0.5) and $0.249 (Fib 0.618). DOGE price dynamics (Source: TradingView) Volume Profile analysis highlights heavy trading around $0.23, making this a key supply band. If DOGE clears it, the path opens toward the broader $0.26–$0.29 resistance pocket. On the downside, $0.20 remains the structural line in the sand, with deeper support at $0.188. Why Is the Dogecoin Price Going Down Today? DOGE price dynamics (Source: TradingView) The decline in Dogecoin price stems from weakening momentum and bearish indicator alignment. On the 4-hour chart, DOGE trades beneath its 20/50/100 EMA cluster, with Bollinger Bands widening lower, suggesting heightened volatility to the downside. The Supertrend indicator remains bearish under $0.229, reinforcing the resistance overhead. DOGE price dynamics (Source: TradingView) The Supertrend indicator has flipped bearish under $0.229, putting pressure on rallies and confirming that sellers remain in control of the short-term trend. Price is struggling to reclaim this dynamic level, which now acts as resistance. Momentum also leans negative. RSI on the 30-minute chart sits near 43, below neutral, while the DMI shows -DI leading with ADX at 28, confirming bearish trend strength. DOGE Derivative Analysis (Source: Coinglass) Futures…

U.S. economist warns a Bitcoin crash to $75k ‘is in play’

The post U.S. economist warns a Bitcoin crash to $75k ‘is in play’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Economist and well-known cryptocurrency skeptic Peter Schiff has once again expressed a negative outlook on Bitcoin (BTC). In a social media post on Tuesday, August 26, Schiff warned that the “digital gold” could fall as low as $75,000. The financial commentator further urged investors to exit positions now and re-enter at lower levels, arguing in the comments that “selling now and buying back lower beats just riding it all the way down.” “Bitcoin just dropped below $109K, down 13% from its high less than two weeks ago. Given all the hype and corporate buying, this weakness should be cause for concern. At a minimum, a decline to about $75K is in play, just below MSTR’s average cost. Sell now and buy back lower.” — Peter Schiff Bitcoin just dropped below $109K, down 13% from its high less than two weeks ago. Given all the hype and corporate buying, this weakness should be cause for concern. At a minimum, a decline to about $75K is in play, just below $MSTR‘s average cost. Sell now and buy back lower. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) August 26, 2025 Bitcoin slips further The warning comes as Bitcoin slipped below $109,000 on Monday, August 25, marking a 13% decline from its peak less than two weeks ago. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) disclosed the purchase of 3,081 BTC, worth nearly $357 million, at an average price of $115,829, bringing its total holdings to about $69.6 billion. Schiff suggested that Bitcoin’s downturn could soon push prices “just below MSTR’s average cost,” as recent volatility was fueled by a 24,000 BTC whale sale that triggered large liquidations across the market. “So where is all the selling coming from?” Schiff wrote, questioning Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. Macro factors also remain in play. As Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell remarked…

Bitcoin Traders Pile Into Futures, Is A Rebound Incoming?

The post Bitcoin Traders Pile Into Futures, Is A Rebound Incoming? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key takeaways: Bitcoin futures demand continues rising despite the recent price weakness, indicating sustained trader engagement. The put options maintained a premium over calls, reflecting persistent bearish sentiment among investors. Bitcoin (BTC) traded down to $109,400 on Monday, its lowest level in more than six weeks. The correction followed an $11 billion sale by a 5-year dormant whale that had been dormant for 5 years, with proceeds rotating into Ether (ETH) spot and futures on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid. Despite the price decline, demand for Bitcoin futures surged to an all-time high, prompting traders to ask whether $120,000 is the next logical step. Bitcoin futures open interest, BTC. Source: CoinGlass Bitcoin futures open interest climbed to an all-time high of BTC 762,700 on Monday, up 13% from two weeks earlier. The stronger demand for leveraged positions shows traders are not abandoning the market despite a 10% price drop since Bitcoin’s all-time high on Aug. 14. While this is a positive indicator, the $85 billion in futures open interest does not necessarily reflect optimism, since longs (buyers) and shorts (sellers) are always matched. If bulls lean too heavily on leverage, a dip below $110,000 could trigger cascading liquidations. Bitcoin 2-month futures annualized premium. Source: Laevitas.ch The Bitcoin futures premium is currently at a neutral 8%, up from 6% the previous week. Notably, the metric has not remained above the 10% neutral threshold for more than six months, meaning even the $124,176 all-time high failed to instill broad bullishness. Leverage shakeout highlights liquidity but sparks suspicion The recent decline blindsided overleveraged traders, leading to $284 million in liquidations of long positions, according to CoinGlass data. The event showed that Bitcoin maintains deep liquidity even on weekends, but the speed of execution raised suspicions, given that the seller had held the position for years.…

$110,800 Is Bitcoin’s New Key Defense Line: Glassnode

The post $110,800 Is Bitcoin’s New Key Defense Line: Glassnode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin faces a potential correction. It must quickly reclaim $110,800. Failure to do so could trigger a further downturn. Glassnode identified a key metric. $110,800 is the average cost for new investors, based on May through July buyers. During this period, Bitcoin hit new all-time highs. Bitcoin Should Defend $110,800 Glassnode explains that the average cost of newer investors, who have been in the market for one to three months, reveals their short-term behavior and shows the nature of new money. Based on Glassnode’s data, this price stands at $110,800 now. Historically, this price level is significant, below which it often signals a bear market, leading to a substantial price correction. BTC: Realized Price by Age. Source: Glassnode The Glassnode chart reveals this trend. The orange line shows the cost for new investors, and the black line shows Bitcoin’s price. When the black line crosses below the orange, prices tend to fall. On Monday, Bitcoin saw its largest long liquidation event since December 2024. On Tuesday, Bitcoin’s price briefly fell, hitting a low of $108,600. It has since slightly rebounded. A sharp price drop triggered the sell-off, liquidating over $150 million in long positions. This is why a swift recovery above $110,800 is crucial. Ethereum Shows Signs of Overheating Ethereum’s price has reached a high level. Glassnode noted its significant valuation. “With Ethereum hitting a new ATH, the MVRV ratio has climbed to 2.15,” they stated. The MVRV ratio is a key on-chain indicator. It compares market value to realized value, helping to gauge whether the market is overvalued. [Market Value to Realized Value Ratio(MVRV). Source: Glassnode] 2.15 MVRV ratio is noteworthy, meaning that investors hold unrealized profits, i.e., their average gains are over 2.15 times their cost. Regarding the unprecedented number, Glassnode explained, “This level mirrors prior market structures.”…
