> One-hour liquidations totaled $1.15 million in long positions and $20,000 in short positions.

Zcash (ZEC) fell 4.62% in four hours to $1,171 at 12:45 p.m. ET Oct. 16 (16:45 UTC) in Binance spot ZEC/USDT trading. ZEC stood at $1,228 four hours earlier, a $57 per-token decline.

Over 24 hours, ZEC was down 1.48%. The four-hour percentage decline was just over three times the 24-hour net decline, showing that the shorter-period move was sharper. Zcash ranked No. 10 by market capitalization at about $20.08 billion.

One-hour ZEC liquidations across Binance, Bybit and OKX totaled $1.15 million in long positions and $20,000 in short positions. The long liquidation total was 57.5 times the short total.

The price figure reflects Binance spot trading in the ZEC/USDT pair, while the liquidation tally aggregates three exchanges. Together, the figures show ZEC lower on both the four-hour and 24-hour comparisons, with the larger percentage decline concentrated in the shorter window.
