It is the steepest drop in terms of time to decline percentage ratio at least in the past two months. What caused the bitcoin price to drop so suddenly? The biggest catalyst for the abrupt drop in the bitcoin price within a span of minutes is most likely the liquidation of over-leveraged longs. The bitcoin price increased by 24 percent within the past 13 days, and technical analysts anticipated a swift pullback before the rally can continue. A quick liquidation of large over-leveraged longs likely triggered a domino effect, causing other longs to get either stopped or liquidated. When longs are hunted down as the price dips, it forces long buyers to market sell, further adding selling pressure to the market. $108 million liquidated, likely about $10 million in actual liquidation According to DataMish.com, more than $108 million worth of long contracts were liquidated on BitMEX alone. If Binance, BitMEX, Deribit, and other major crypto margin trading platforms are considered, the amount would well surpass the $108 million figure. However, it does not mean that $108 million were all liquidated. BitMEX, Binance, and others offer 100x leverage. Hence, the actual amount of funds liquidated is likely to be in the $10 million to $20 million range. Short-term price movements in the crypto market are mostly driven by short or long liquidations causing extreme volatility. What does it mean for BTC in the short-term?

The six percent decline would mark the first major pullback BTC has seen in the past two weeks.
