Bitcoin saw its biggest long squeeze in four months at the start of the trading day in Hong Kong today, which briefly sent the price below $22,000. Within the last 24 hours, a total of over $73 million in longs were liquidated, and over $200 million in the entire crypto market.<\/p>\n

The liquidation of the long positions has the positive side effect that the Bitcoin funding rate across all exchanges is negative for the first time since February 13. Remarkably, that day marked the last local low before the Bitcoin price rallied from $21,300 to $25,200.<\/p>\n

As the chart from CryptoQuant shows, the Bitcoin price was in a consolidation phase from January 20 to mid-February, after a massive Bitcoin rally during the first three weeks of January.

It required a reset before the next leg up could happen. When the sentiment seemed to turn around, the bulls took the opportunity to short-squeeze the bears and initiated the next move upwards. This scenario could now be on the table again.<\/p>\n

His mission is simple yet profound: to demystify Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and make them accessible to everyone. With a professional career in the Bitcoin and crypto scene that began right after graduating with a degree in Information Systems in 2017, Jake has immersed himself in the industry.

Jake is not just a reporter on technological trends; he is a firm believer in the transformative potential of Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies. To him, the current financial system is on the brink of chaos, propelled by unchecked government actions and flawed Keynesian economic policies. Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system. His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution. He envisions a future where Bitcoin fosters a sustainable and responsible financial framework for generations to come. His advocacy is not about opposition but about evolution, about laying the groundwork for a system that prioritizes transparency and equity over secrecy and inequality. As a journalist, Jake\u2019s articles are crafted with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a true believer.
