Crypto Market Languishes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bitcoin <\/strong>extended its sideways movement as trading volumes stayed subdued. Ethereum<\/strong> meandered in the high $1,900s region, awaiting a decisive breakout above $2,000.<\/p>\n

Shares of cryptocurrency-related companies, including Strategy Inc.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:<\/a>MSTR<\/a>)\u00a0 and Coinbase Global Inc.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:<\/a>COIN<\/a>), closed up 3.39% and 1.15%, respectively.<\/p>\n

Over $160 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, according <\/a>to Coinglass, with $105 million worth of bullish long bets erased.<\/p>\n

A further $500 million in Bitcoin longs on Binance risked liquidation if the apex cryptocurrency slides to $60,000.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s open interest rose 1.38% over the past 24 hours, suggesting increased short buildup. That said, majority of Binance’s retail and whale investors were long BTC as of this writing.<\/p>\n
