What’s pushing crypto?

Trump’s win triggered an upward trajectory in the crypto market as many called him the “first pro-crypto president.” Bitcoin reached an ATH of $75,000 after Trump’s electoral votes surpassed 270 on Nov. 6.

Spot BTC exchange-traded funds in the U.S. also witnessed a record net inflow of $1.37 billion on Nov. 7, adding to the industry’s positive sentiment. Total net inflows surpassed the $25 billion mark.

Following the latest push, total crypto liquidations increased by 68% in the past 24 hours, reaching $384 million, according to data from Coinglass. Bitcoin registered $102 million in liquidations—$13 million long and $89 million shorts.

Usually, short liquidations trigger upward momentum.

ADA also saw $7.3 million in liquidations—$1.6 million longs and $5.7 million shorts—per Coinglass.

It’s important to note that high trading volume and liquidations would lead to high volatility. The start of long liquidations and profit-taking from short-term traders would potentially hint at a market-wide correction.
