Seeing “short liquidations accounted for 66%,” your first thought might be: Is the market about to rise? Don’t jump to conclusions just yet. 📊
According to a report by TokenPost reporter Enna Lee, over the 24 hours up to 00:04 UTC on October 12, Binance, Bybit, and OKX saw a combined total of approximately $115.9 million in forced liquidations across 33,466 orders. Short positions accounted for about $76.9 million, while long positions accounted for about $39.1 million. Binance’s liquidation volume was approximately $74.6 million. By asset, ETH and BTC accounted for about $28.1 million and $25.5 million, respectively. Source: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/29948
My take: The higher volume of short liquidations indicates that leveraged short positions came under greater pressure during this period, but it is not a signal for predicting future price movements. Forced liquidations can amplify short-term volatility, and the figures cover only the three exchanges mentioned above. This number alone cannot tell us whether funds are continuing to flow into the market as a whole or whether leveraged positions are being unwound in a concentrated wave.
Rather than guessing which way the market will go, it’s more useful to check your own positions: If volatility increases, do you have enough margin to spare? Could a single move in the opposite direction trigger a forced liquidation? Data can help us identify risks—don’t let it make decisions for us.
