3 Altcoins That Could Trigger Major Liquidations in Early January

by

In the ever-turbulent sea of altcoins, our short-term traders cling to their long positions like sailors to a sinking ship! 🚢 As December wanes, the winds of liquidation may blow as early as January if they lack the lifeboats of strict stop-loss plans!

Now, dear reader, which altcoins are strutting dangerously close to the edge, and why could they plunge into the abyss of major liquidation losses? Let us dive into this analysis with all the grace of a cat on a hot tin roof.

1. Solana (SOL)

Behold! The 7-day liquidation map of Solana reveals a shocking imbalance-long liquidations are piling up like dirty laundry after a week-long festival. 🎉

Long traders, bless their hearts, have every reason to hold onto SOL at this juncture. A recent report from BeInCrypto unveils that January has historically been a month of prosperity for SOL’s price performance. Plus, we have a bullish RSI divergence giving traders hope like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.

But alas, dear friends, without a solid plan for profit-taking, these traders could find themselves in a precarious position. Data from SoSoValue is ringing alarm bells, showing that SOL ETFs just logged their lowest weekly inflow since birth-only $13.14 million! That’s a drop more dramatic than my last haircut! ✂️

This sharp decline signals a worrying trend as ETF demand for SOL weakens. If SOL tumbles to $110, brace yourselves-long liquidations could soar beyond $880 million. 💸

2. Zcash (ZEC)

Just like SOL, ZEC’s liquidation map is peppered with traders throwing caution to the wind, heavily investing in long positions. It’s a dizzying spectacle! 🎢

The Shielded Pools of ZEC have locked in more funds, while the price has rebounded like a rubber ball from $300 to over $500. What a dramatic comeback story! 📈

Yet, as is often the case in life, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. After a jubilant rally surpassing 70%, a technical correction feels inevitable-like Monday following a wild weekend party!

$ZEC next retest is going to be legendary.

Clean up the weekend liqs into the piled up demand before the breakout of the previous range of consolidation.

Profit-taking by those who bought in early December could trigger this correction, leading to a cascade of liquidation risks for long positions. 🏃‍♂️💨

Furthermore, whispers from the BeInCrypto grapevine suggest that ZEC whales are backing off, showing an alarming trend toward caution after that thrilling recovery ride. If ZEC slips to around $466 in January, long-position liquidations might exceed $78 million. A real nail-biter! 😱

3. Chainlink (LINK)

Many traders are strutting about, convinced that LINK will rise from its current resting place of $12 like a phoenix from the ashes. They’ve poured in significant capital and leverage into long positions as if it were a Vegas casino! 🎰

“LINK is holding its demand zone and beginning to stabilize. As long as this support holds, price has room to push toward $13.5, $14, and $15. A break below $11.5 would invalidate this setup and signal downside risk,” CryptoPulse wisely cautioned.

One crucial signal should grab your attention-LINK reserves on Binance have been rising like bread in the oven, ending a two-month downtrend. 🍞

This shift indicates that LINK holders are poised to sell at the first glimmer of recovery. Beware; if LINK falls to $11, cumulative long liquidations could reach a staggering $40 million. Let’s hope they brought their life jackets! 💦
