Bitcoin had broken above $40,000 again last week, marking the digital asset’s fifth break above this point this year alone. Given that it has been trending in its $36-$38k support level before this, traders had taken to placing their trades in anticipation of the cryptocurrency’s next movements. The digital asset had barreled towards $42,000 leaving positive sentiment in its wake but resistance at this point proved devastating for long traders.

Bitcoin Long Traders Suffer Losses

A recent pullback in the price of bitcoin saw a significant amount of long liquidations rock the market. Bitcoin which was expected to early break through $42,000 has met more resistance than anticipated. Bears had put up one hell of a fight at this point and in the end, the bulls had succumbed to this pressure, causing the price of the digital asset to revert back down.
