Bitcoin\u2019s rally squeezed short sellers last the week. By Sunday, the reversal was hitting leveraged longs.<\/p>\n

At about 07:00 UTC on Aug. 23, CoinGlass<\/a> showed $101.39 million of crypto long positions liquidated over four hours, almost 86% of the window\u2019s $118.13 million total. The 24-hour view put long liquidations at $250.57 million out of $339.73 million.<\/p>\n\n

Bitcoin liquidations hit leveraged longs<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin contributed $38.66 million of the four-hour long liquidations and $55.82 million over 24 hours. At the time, BTC traded near $76,088, down about 1.8% over the preceding day after approaching $80,000 during the earlier rally. Since then, Bitcoin has recovered slightly to near $77,300.<\/p>\n

The liquidation mix confirms a sharp change in who was being forced out. The positioning data, however, showed leverage shrinking during the pullback.<\/p>\n

Open interest falls during the pullback<\/h2>\n

CoinGlass<\/a> placed aggregate Bitcoin futures open interest near $54.54 billion, down 2.65% over 24 hours. Major perpetual funding rates were generally near the 0.01% baseline, while the aggregate account long-short ratio stood at 0.9238. A market already reloading with crowded longs would typically show expanding open interest and richer funding; this capture showed restrained positioning on both measures.<\/p>\n

The washout was also broader than Bitcoin. Binance accounted for $65.02 million of all crypto liquidations over four hours, including $58.64 million in longs. The largest single order shown over 24 hours was an $11.72 million ETHUSDT liquidation on Binance.<\/p>\n

The earlier short squeeze carries several totals tied to different windows. CoinGlass said on Aug. 20<\/a> that $3.07 billion in crypto shorts had been liquidated \u201ctoday,\u201d without defining exact start and end times. Its live historical table separately listed a $2.99 billion event dated Aug. 19, while CryptoSlate\u2019s prior coverage<\/a> and the Associated Press<\/a> used broader figures above $4 billion. Direct comparison would turn different scopes into one misleading record total.<\/p>\n

ETF inflows offer a spot-market counterweight<\/h2>\n

Farside Investors<\/a> recorded five consecutive sessions of US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows through Friday, including $307.5 million on Aug. 21, before the creation channel closed for the weekend. The timing leaves long liquidations and thinner weekend spot support entangled.<\/p>\n\n

The Aug. 23 snapshot therefore captures a long flush already reducing open interest. Evidence of the next crowded long trade would have to emerge in a later expansion of leverage, funding or both. Until then, the live data describes a cleanup of existing risk, with Monday\u2019s reopened ETF channel providing the next spot-demand test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
