Crypto leverage is getting wiped out fast. In the latest 24-hour period, total liquidations across the market moved above $800M, with short positions accounting for the majority of the damage. Data reported from CoinGlass showed roughly $841M in liquidations, including about $671M in shorts and $170M in longs. Bitcoin alone accounted for around $461M, while Ethereum saw approximately $176M liquidated.

This matters because liquidations can accelerate price moves. When leveraged shorts are forcibly closed during a sharp BTC rally, those positions effectively create additional buying pressure, pushing prices higher and potentially triggering another wave of liquidations.

That is exactly why the recent Bitcoin move has been so aggressive. BTC pushed sharply higher, while short sellers were forced to exit as momentum accelerated. Recent reporting also showed the broader liquidation wave reaching well beyond $1B as the rally continued.

The key takeaway: $800M+ liquidations are a sign of extreme volatility and crowded leverage, not automatic proof that the rally will continue.

If BTC holds the breakout and fresh spot demand follows, the move can become more sustainable. If momentum fades, highly leveraged traders could quickly become the next source of volatility.

Watch the leverage. Watch the liquidations. Watch BTC. 👀₿
