Data from Coinglass showed that the Futures markets had a higher percentage of short positions open than longs on Bitcoin. In the past 24 hours, $430m worth of positions were liquidated across the market, with an overwhelming majority of those positions being longs.
Hence, it seems fair to say that a bullish bias could be dangerous in the near term. This applies to Loopring as well, after it lost nearly 15% on the charts the previous day within the span of four hours.

The VPVR showed the $0.8 and the $0.85 areas to have a high trading volume in the visible range on the charts. the Value Area Lows and Highs are marked in gray on the charts, with the Point of Control lying at $0.731.
At press time, LRC was trading just above the POC. The rejection at the $0.8-$0.85 area meant that the bearish market structure was reinforced, even on the lower timeframes such as the 1-hour chart.
A bearish divergence was seen as LRC headed into a former demand area, and the sellers came out in force as Bitcoin plunged back beneath the $39k mark.
