Massive volatility liquidates traders
Massive volatility on Thursday caught many traders unawares. From almost touching $104,000 early on Thursday, the price went sideways for the next 12 hours before a dip over the next few hours that went below $100,000.
However, what was to come caused panic among traders, as within the space of a few minutes the price plunged spectacularly from $99,000, all the way down to $92,000, liquidating the vast majority of long positions as it did so.
