Major cryptocurrencies made cautious gains to start the week, with BTC around 1.3% higher over 24 hours at just under $63,500. Ether outperformed bitcoin, rising 2.7% to $2,650, while the broader digital asset market is up just under 1.1%, as measured by the CryptoX 20 Index. Data from CoinGlass shows that in the last 12 hours, slightly more short positions than longs have been liquidated, with $64.23 million in short positions and $54.42 million in longs being liquidated. Trading is likely light in the aftermath of last week’s 50 basis-point interest-rate cut in the U.S. BTC is up 9.5% in the past seven days while ETH is up over 16%.
