A long position is a trade that benefits if the asset's price rises. In futures trading, liquidation closes a position when it can no longer meet margin requirements. The recorded price marks where this position was liquidated; it does not describe a broader price move.

The event was recorded at 1:03 a.m. Oct. 20 in South Korea. That is 12:03 p.m. Oct. 19 for readers in the Eastern time zone, placing the same OKX liquidation on different calendar dates.
