A spectacular event recently shook the crypto market: the liquidation of 41.5 million Dogecoin in just 24 hours. This massive liquidation surprised investors and sent shockwaves through the crypto ecosystem.
A storm of liquidations
Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular meme crypto, is at the forefront of liquidations. According to data from CoinGlass, Over $4 million worth of Dogecoin was liquidated in 24 hours.
While this figure may seem small compared to the $90 million in Bitcoin liquidations, it is nonetheless significant for DOGE. In fact, during this period, 41,554,054 DOGE was liquidated, with the majority coming from long positions.
The massive selloff caused the price of Dogecoin to drop 7.89% to $0.1121, its lowest level in a month.
The decline comes amid a broader decline in cryptocurrencies, where even the most capitalized coins are not showing signs of positive growth.
Several factors contributed to this meteoric sell-off. First, the meme coin ecosystem is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in the crypto market.
Dogecoin, despite its popularity and support from influential figures like Elon Musk, remains a highly speculative cryptocurrency. Expectations of a rebound following the over 8,500% increase in Shiba Inu’s burn rate have not been realized, leaving the meme coin ecosystem in trouble.
Additionally, the overall decline in the crypto market has amplified the pressure on Dogecoin. Bitcoin, for example, fell to $58,000, dragging the entire crypto market down with it. This has increased volatility, leading many traders to liquidate their positions to limit their losses.
The outlook for Dogecoin and Memecoins
Despite this tumultuous period, there are reasons to hope for a rebound for Dogecoin and other meme coins. Historically, meme coins have often served as a barometer for volatility in the overall crypto market. When the market bottoms out, these cryptocurrencies often have the ability to rebound more strongly than other altcoins.
Accumulation by whales and increased transaction volumes are positive signs for Dogecoin. Additionally, the loyal and passionate community that supports these coins could play a crucial role in their resurgence. If the overall market stabilizes, memecoins could well see a spectacular comeback.
The massive liquidation of 41.5 million Dogecoins in 24 hours is a stark reminder of the inherent volatility of the crypto market. However, every crisis carries the seeds of rebirth. Some hope to see bitcoin dethrone the dollar one day.
