Data shows the rebound in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has punished the 
bears, triggering a massive wave of short liquidations. Crypto Sector Has Just 
Witnessed A Mass Liquidation Event According to data from CoinGlass, a large 
amount of liquidations have piled up on the cryptocurrency derivatives market. 
&#8220;Liquidation&#8221; refers to the forceful shutdown that any open contract has to go 
through if its losses exceed the threshold defined by its platform. Related

Below is a table that shows the numbers related to the latest liquidations in 
the market. As displayed, the cryptocurrency sector has seen a derivatives 
flush of over half a billion dollars during the past day. Out of these, 73.7% 
of the liquidations, equivalent to $371 million, came from the short investors 
alone. The short-heavy mass liquidations have come as Bitcoin and company have 
rebounded following the news of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Earlier, 
US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities had induced a crash in the market 
that ended up unleashing a flurry of long liquidations. This time, it seems 
the bears have been the ones caught out instead. As usual, Bitcoin and 
Ethereum have topped the list of liquidations, but interestingly, the latter 
($168 million) has managed to outweigh the former ($153 million), which is 
generally not the case. Ethereum observing a higher amount of liquidations 
could come down to the fact that its price has seen a larger jump during the 
past day (7% vs 3.5%). It could also be an indication of an elevated level of 
speculative interest in the cryptocurrency. Out of the altcoins, Solana and 
XRP have topped the charts with $29 million and $13 million in liquidations, 
respectively. Though clearly, these numbers are quite small compared to the 
figures of the top two titans, showcasing the sheer difference in capital 
involved. In some other news, Bitcoin taker buy volume has shot up on the 
cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, as an analyst has pointed out in a CryptoQuant 
Quicktake post. In the chart, the data of the Bitcoin Taker Buy Sell Ratio is 
shown. This metric measures the ratio between the taker buy and taker sell 
volumes for a given platform. Here, the exchange involved is Bybit. Related

would appear that the indicator has recently seen a sharp spike above the 1 
mark, a sign that long volume has started to sharply outpace the short one. 
According to the quant, spikes in the metric on Bybit have often preceded a 
surge in the BTC price. BTC Price Following the recovery run over the last 24
