The sharp wipeout in bullish leveraged bets points to a rapid market reversal, with forced selling likely amplifying price moves across crypto derivatives markets.
More than $120,000,000 in long positions were liquidated across the crypto market over the past 60 minutes, marking a swift unwind of bullish leveraged trades. Long liquidations happen when traders betting on higher prices are forced out as the market moves against them, often accelerating declines through automatic selling on derivatives venues.
