🚨 Is $BTC being manipulated amid extremely low liquidity?
The timing of this wave of selling raises serious questions.
Just before the weekly close, millions of dollars' worth of BTC and ETH were injected into a weekend market that was already suffering from low liquidity.
The result?
→ BTC plunged sharply toward $73.5K.
→ The key support level at the 50-week moving average of $75.5K was lost.
→ This was followed by liquidations worth nearly $1 billion.
→ Leveraged traders' positions were wiped out in minutes.
This isn't the first time we've seen sharp volatility during low-liquidity weekend sessions.
When order books are thin, large market orders can have an outsized impact, triggering stop-loss orders and liquidations and setting off a cascade of forced selling.
But the bigger issue is:
Crypto markets need stronger protections against manipulation and abusive trading practices.
The CLARITY Act and effective market regulations could be important steps toward greater transparency and accountability.
No market should be this vulnerable, allowing a handful of powerful players to potentially cause billions of dollars in losses for ordinary investors.
