  • Ethereum led crypto liquidations over the last 24 hours, surpassing Bitcoin.
  • Total crypto liquidations totaled about $113.25 million in the past day.
  • Ethereum saw roughly $27.09 million liquidated, mostly long positions.
  • Bitcoin holders realized 30-day losses for the first time since 2023, amid tighter global conditions.
  • Macro factors, including Japan’s 40-year bond yield at 4%, added pressure and kept traders cautious.

Cryptocurrency markets recorded muted momentum on Tuesday, with ether-based liquidations outpacing bitcoin as macroeconomic headwinds capped upside. Data from Coinglass shows about $113.25 million in total liquidations over the prior 24 hours, driven mainly by long liquidations in major tokens.

Ethereum traded near $3,186, down 0.65% on the day, and posted roughly $27.09 million in liquidations over 24 hours, including about $22.53 million in longs and $4.56 million in shorts, according to Coinglass. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits shifted from bullish to bearish for Ethereum, while chatter levels fell from high to normal.

Bitcoin was near $92,358, down 0.33%, and saw about $14.59 million in liquidations, with $9.55 million in long positions and $5.04 million in short positions. On-chain data shared by CryptoQuant shows holders realized 30-day losses for the first time since 2023, signaling short-term market stress.

Analysts noted the market may be shifting to a longer multi-year cycle as pressure mounts from broader markets and geopolitics. Silver hit about $94 per ounce, and analysts pointed out that Japan’s 40-year bond yield reached 4%, tightening global financial conditions. Analyst Stoic flagged that Bitcoin has returned to December’s value area, which now acts as a support zone.

Among altcoins, Solana had about $3.27 million liquidated, Ripple (XRP) saw $5.11 million, Dogecoin recorded $2.24 million, BNB posted $120,780, and Cardano saw roughly $577,130. Retail sentiment across several tokens shifted toward bearish or neutral territory as traders remained cautious.
