Aside from BTC\u2019s 7% surge, ETH has posted a 9% pump that has pushed it to $3,000. XRP has added over 7% of value, while SOL has skyrocketed by 12%. ADA is the top performer from the larger-cap alts, having surged by 15% to $0.43.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, these fluctuations have harmed over-leveraged traders. The total value of wrecked positions has risen to nearly $380 million, according to CoinGlass. This time, though, shorts are responsible for the lion\u2019s share with more than $300 million.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin shorts equal over half of the entire amount, followed by $91 million from ETH shorts. The single-largest liquidated position took place on Bybit and was worth $13 million.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1422117\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1422117\" style=\"width: 1365px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Liquidation-Data-on-CoinGlass.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1422117\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liquidation Data on CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-price-danger-zone-83k-support-faces-major-test\/\">remain bullish<\/a> on BTC as long as it stays above key support zones, including $83,000, which was tested yesterday.
