Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Meme & Crypto – European Wrap 22 September

Over $1B Liquidated today in Bitcoin: Leverage flushout

According to Coinglass’s liquidation tracker, roughly $1.59B in long positions were wiped out today — proof that retail apes who chased weekend highs got caught on the wrong side.

At the same time, open interest has rolled over rapidly today, underscoring a classic leverage washout. It’s the kind of reset that clears out weak hands and forces the market back to neutral.

Notably gold has made new record highs this morning, which may well turn the heads of many in the short term.
