AI take

The skew toward short liquidations matters more than the headline total: it signals a sharp upward move that caught bearish positioning offside, not a broad deleveraging. Ether absorbing the largest share reinforces that it, not bitcoin, is driving this leg of volatility. Whether shorts keep getting squeezed or the move fades into fresh long liquidations is the open question worth watching.
