In the past 24 hours, US stock and commodity contracts were liquidated to the tune of $55.43 million, across 11,600 transactions. What’s unusual is the direction: long liquidations totaled $27.64 million, and short liquidations totaled $27.79 million—almost perfectly balanced on both sides. When the market moves one way, it wipes out one side; in a choppy range, it alternates and wipes out both. Clearly, this is the latter.
Breaking it down, it isn’t symmetrical. Stocks liquidated $45.35 million, with longs slightly more than shorts. In commodities, shorts account for 70% of the $8.93 million, and short positions in gold, silver, and oil are still getting squeezed.
Precious metals are the most typical example: the largest single short on silver was liquidated for $0.998 million, while the largest single liquidation on gold was a $0.634 million long. Same precious metals—one side gets squeezed while the other side is hammered. That kind of high-range, wide oscillation looks like this.
The biggest single liquidation across the whole market was an SPXC short for $1.53 million, which was swept away on Hyperliquid during yesterday’s US pre-market. Recently, the wind direction shifted again: in the $4.25 million liquidations over the last four hours, 89% were shorts, and the scale is temporarily tilted toward the short side.
During a range period, both sides have gains—and both sides have risks. Until the direction becomes clear, don’t max out leverage on both ends.
