Binance futures liquidations totaled approximately $3.54 million over the past hour, with long positions accounting for 92.8%. The largest was $BTC .
Guys, what does liquidation mean? Here’s the short version 👇
The amounts shown are based on the notional value of positions, not the actual losses. In isolated-margin mode, when a 10x leveraged position is liquidated, the margin lost is roughly one-tenth of its notional value.
A concentration of liquidations means leverage is being flushed out in this area. Some people think volatility may temporarily calm down after the flush, but that’s not a rule.
The point of understanding this metric is to avoid being spooked by the numbers—not to use it to predict whether prices will rise or fall.
