Over $162.95 million in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated within 24 hours, mainly affecting short sellers on Bitcoin and Ethereum. This short squeeze occurred as Bitcoin rose about 0.83% to $64,539 and Ethereum increased 1.79% to around $1,900, triggering forced closures worth $111 million on shorts and $52 million on longs. The event highlights how small price moves can cause large liquidations in a highly leveraged market, increasing volatility and resetting liquidity conditions. This trend suggests continued sensitivity to leverage-driven swings in crypto trading.
