Crypto Liquidations Hit $507M in 24 Hours, Longs Dominate at $361M
The long-heavy skew signals that leverage had built up on the bullish side and was flushed out in a single session, rather than a two-way squeeze. Bitcoin and Ethereum absorbing the bulk of it shows the pain was concentrated in the deepest, most liquid markets, where crowded positioning is most visible. The outsized single ETHUSDT order on Binance points to one large position being cleared rather than broad retail capitulation. Whether open interest rebuilds in the same direction, or positioning resets more balanced, is the open question.
