Traders holding long positions got hammered in a single hour. About $180 million in crypto positions were liquidated market-wide during the 60 minutes ending 9:54 p.m. ET on Nov. 12 — 02:54 UTC on Nov. 13 — according to tokenpost.com. Longs did almost all the bleeding.
Long liquidations hit $176 million, against just $3.6937 million on the short side. That split the hour roughly 98% longs to 2% shorts, with the gap between the two sitting at about $172.3 million — a ratio of nearly 48 to 1. It was a one-hour snapshot, not a running total.
Bitcoin absorbed the worst of it. BTC accounted for $129 million of the liquidations, about 72% of the market-wide figure and the biggest asset-level number in the update. The remaining roughly $51 million was spread across other crypto assets.
The damage was lopsided in both directions that mattered: heavy on longs, heavy on Bitcoin. Those two concentrations defined the hour.
