Bitcoin Blasts Past $93,000, Sparking a $600 Million Crypto Liquidation Frenzy!

BTC Soars, ETH and SOL Follow Suit

Holy cow, Bitcoin just rocketed over $93,000 for the first time in seven weeks, and it's totally shifting the game! We're talking over $600 million in crypto liquidations, folks. Right now, Bitcoin (BTC) is cruising at $93,069, up a solid 5% in the last day. Ethereum (ETH) isn't far behind, jumping 12% to $1,768, and Solana (SOL) is up 7% at $149. The whole crypto market cap has pumped up by 4% to just over $3 trillion. It's like a wild rollercoaster ride!

Liquidations and Leverage Skyrocket

Get this: in the last 24 hours, a whopping $602 million got wiped out from the crypto market, that's a 130% spike! Open interest also shot up 14% to $121.6 billion, showing everyone's betting big on this rally. But here's the twist: despite the market going nuts, the Altcoin Season Index is chilling at 16, meaning we're still in full-on "Bitcoin Season."

U.S. Bitcoin ETFs See Massive Inflows

Meanwhile, U.S. Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds are on fire, seeing their third straight day of cash pouring in. On Apr. 22, they raked in a mind-blowing $936 million, the highest since Trump took the reins earlier this year. It's like everyone's rushing to get a piece of the action!

Trade War Tensions Ease, Fueling the Rally

So, what's behind this crazy surge? It's all about the vibe changing as investors are betting on the U.S.-China trade war cooling down. At a White House press conference on Apr. 22, Trump totally softened his stance on some big economic issues. He said tariffs on Chinese stuff would "come down substantially," though not completely. And guess what? He's not planning on booting Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell anytime soon, despite past beef over interest rates. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent even hinted at de-escalating the trade war, saying the current tariffs are just not sustainable.

Traditional Markets and Gold Join the Party

It's not just crypto going wild; traditional markets are also popping off. The S&P 500 jumped 2.51%, the Nasdaq soared 2.87%, and the Dow Jones climbed 2.66%. And gold? It briefly hit $3,500 before pulling back. It's like a full-on market party!

What's Next for Bitcoin?

Keep your eyes peeled because the Federal Reserve's next interest rate move and the ongoing U.S.-China fiscal talks are going to keep Bitcoin on its toes in the coming weeks. Buckle up, because this ride's just getting started!
