More than $356 million in crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours as Bitcoin fell below $80,000. Long positions accounted for $207.7 million of the total.
Why it matters
The majority of the reported liquidations came from bullish bets. Forced position closures can add selling pressure during a decline, though the figures alone do not establish what drove Bitcoin below $80,000.
Market impact
The liquidation total highlights the scale of leverage cleared during the move. Traders will be watching whether Bitcoin can recover the $80,000 level and whether further liquidations follow.
