Well, well, well! It seems that tensions in the Middle East have decided to hit the snooze button. US President Donald Trump, in a move that can only be described as “political origami,” announced that the ceasefire with Iran is now extended. Apparently, the Iranian government is about as stable as a one-legged chair, which left Pakistan scrambling for a coherent strategy that doesn’t involve throwing rocks.
“I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other,” he said, undoubtedly while doing a dramatic hand gesture.
Now, here’s where it gets delightfully absurd: this little bit of geopolitical chit-chat sent the cryptocurrency sector into a tizzy, with market capitalization flying higher than a kite on a windy day, now soaring past a whopping $2.7 trillion! Bitcoin, that glittering digital marvel, has rocketed above $78,000, while its sidekicks-Ethereum, Monero, and Bitcoin Cash-are also basking in the green glow of daily gains of 4% to 9%. You’d think they just discovered a secret stash of gold bars!
This isn’t the first rodeo for crypto reacting positively to global melodrama. Earlier this month, the entire market lit up like a Christmas tree after the USA and Iran decided to take a two-week break from their usual shenanigans.
But not everyone is dancing in the streets. Those traders who thought they could ride the wave of high leverage are now regretting their life choices. Apparently, liquidations over the past 24 hours have reached a staggering $460 million, with short positions accounting for a jaw-dropping 70% of that figure. Ouch! Talk about a financial smackdown.
Wrecked Bitcoin trades have climbed to a dismal $212 million, while Ethereum enthusiasts are crying over losses totaling $123 million. The pièce de résistance? The largest single liquidation occurred on Bitget, hitting an eye-watering $7.5 million. I can almost hear the collective gasp!
