The unexpected withdrawal of US President Joe Biden from the 2024 presidential race has led to a significant crypto market volatility. Within 30 minutes of the announcement, $67 million in leveraged long positions were liquidated.

Market chaos following Joe Biden’s withdrawal
Joe Biden’s sudden exit from the 2024 presidential race sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market.
Between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm UTC on July 21, the market saw $67 million worth of leveraged long positions liquidated, triggered by a 2.3% drop in Bitcoin’s price to $65,880.
This rapid decline was part of a broader 12-hour period that witnessed a total of $81.1 million and $53.4 million in long and short positions, respectively, being wiped out according to CoinGlass data.
Bitcoin and Ether were the most affected, with Bitcoin experiencing $43.8 million in liquidations and Ether $31.1 million.

Interestingly, a massive buy order during this period helped Bitcoin recover swiftly, reaching a 24-hour high of $68,480 and causing traders with short positions to incur $34 million in losses.
