Crypto Liquidations Hit $609M in 24 Hours, Longs Take $431M
The skew matters more than the headline number: longs absorbing roughly twice the short liquidations signals a leveraged book caught leaning the wrong way, with Ether's total exceeding Bitcoin's despite the latter's larger market cap. That Ether led the unwind points to positioning stress concentrated in altcoin and ETH-linked contracts rather than a purely Bitcoin-driven move. Whether the long-heavy imbalance clears through further deleveraging or stabilizes is the open question worth watching.
