On Friday, the expiration of the nearest contracts will take place on the crypto derivatives market, which could be a catalyst for a correction to the lows over the past two weeks. Before it began, traders had time to hit their hardest, reacting to the screaming headlines in the media, but the big players were able to cool this impulse by pushing the shoulder players to liquidations.
According to Bybt, their volume was the maximum since September 19, $810 million, and the largest part of them fell on the morning 40-minute segment.
