771M — crypto liquidations in 24h (CoinGlass, Oct 12-13).

685.6M of it was longs. 89%.

BTC flushed to 81,382 (-2.8%), then bounced to ~82.2K by the Asia open. ETH -4.6% to 2,425. SOL -7.5%.

Mechanics: one wave of forced selling, and perp leverage is clean again — right before Wednesday's CPI.

Spot bid never left. US spot BTC ETFs printed +21.1M net inflows on trade date Oct 12 (SoSoValue, IBIT led). Institutions bought the flush.

ETH is the divergence: -$56.1M, nine straight outflow sessions.

Setup: $BTC ~82.2K. 84K-85K is the wall, 82K is the floor — lose it and 80K comes fast.

CPI in ~24h meets a market with no crowded longs left to cushion it. The reaction, either way, likely comes violent.
