> Bitcoin accounted for $129 million of the total, while short liquidations came to less than $4 million.

About $180 million in crypto positions were liquidated across the market during the hour ending 9:54 p.m. ET Nov. 12 (02:54 UTC Nov. 13), with long positions accounting for nearly all of the activity.

Long liquidations totaled $176 million, while short liquidations came to $3.6937 million. The long side therefore represented about 98% of the total, while short liquidations made up about 2%. Together, the two reported position categories equal roughly $179.7 million, aligning with the rounded $180 million market-wide figure.

Bitcoin (BTC) accounted for $129 million in liquidations during the same hour, about 72% of the stated total. That makes Bitcoin the largest asset-level figure in the update. The remaining roughly $51 million reflects liquidation activity across other crypto assets.

The figures describe a one-hour snapshot, rather than a longer-period total. Long liquidations exceeded short liquidations by about $172.3 million, a gap of nearly 48 to 1. The concentration on the long side defined the period’s liquidation activity, while Bitcoin represented most of the cited asset-specific amount.
