$1 Billion Liquidated as Bitcoin Price Crashes by $1.4K in Minutes
The BTC price and Ethereum price plunged by 13% and 21%, respectively, within minutes on Aug. 2.
The move liquidated more than $1 billion worth of futures contracts as BTC/USD dropped from around $12,000 to as low as $10,550.
There appear to be two main reasons behind the sudden cascade of liquidations.
First, the volume in the cryptocurrency market tends to drop during weekends.
Second, the market was heavily swayed to longs or buyers.

$20,000 Won’t Pose Any Resistance for Bitcoin Price, Says Max Keiser
According to Heisenberg Capital founder and Keiser Report host Max Keiser, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) would soon rally to $28,000.
He believes the all-time high of BTC at $20,000 likely won’t act as resistance.
Keiser, who is an early investor in unicorn Kraken and $100-million-worth Bitstamp, said:
“The $20,000 level for Bitcoin won’t pose any resistance. We won’t see any resistance till $28,000. A brief pullback then the assault on $100,000 begins with renewed vigor.”
In the past 12 days, the price of Bitcoin has increased from $9,200 to $12,000, marking the highest price in over a year.
The cryptocurrency market is benefiting from the strong momentum of Bitcoin and Ethereum’s Ether.
Keiser reaffirms his $100,000 Bitcoin prediction Throughout the Bitcoin rally in the past month, Keiser has continuously reaffirmed his position on the medium-term trend of BTC.
He expects BTC to eventually surpass $28,000, and shoot for a new all-time high at six figures.
In late July, when the price of Bitcoin first broke out of $11,000, Keiser said a six-figure BTC is likely.
Since then, BTC has confirmed $10,400 as a key support level, maintaining its momentum. He said:
“$28,000 is in play before we see a pullback – and then we’re heading to 6-figures.”
