Bitcoin price has been trying hard to reach to the key resistance level of $10,500, but all the efforts by the bulls failed yesterday as the price came crashing down towards the support levels of $9,700. This drop was not handled well by BitMEX.

As soon as the price touched the below $10,000 mark, this sudden drop triggered a series of longs liquidation on BitMEX which resulted in the liquidation of $150 million. A Twitter bot for BitMEX, REKT announced about the BitMEX liquidation and how some traders even lost around $100,000 after the price move.
