The geopolitical shock triggered $483 million in crypto liquidations over 24 hours, with long positions bearing the brunt of forced selling. However, markets staged a notable recovery in later trading: Bitcoin bounced back to around $66,846 (+5.27%), Ethereum climbed near $1,995 (+7.36%), Solana recovered to $86.59 (+10.73%), and XRP moved back toward $1.40 (+6.42%). The speed of the recovery reflects the highly reactive nature of the current market and the presence of significant institutional buy-side demand at lower levels. Analysts caution that leverage remains elevated and further volatility is likely as the geopolitical situation evolves. Not financial advice. DYOR.
