These liquidations take place amid the rally that the price of BTC had to near USD 45,000, its highest in a month. As reported by CriptoNoticias, this movement occurs as demand is strengthened in the face of the approach of the bitcoin halving.

The halving is the halving of the issuance of bitcoin, an event that limits the supply in the market, leading to the rise. Historically, this event has propelled the coin's price to a new all-time high.
