With this, dozens of millions of BitMEX long positions were liquidated,<\/a> forced to close as sell-side pressure mounted.<\/p>\n Bitcoin has since stabilized, trading at $6,725 as of the time of this article’s writing, in line with the slight recovery in the value of the S&P 500’s futures, which fell as BTC fell earlier this trading session.
