Across the hour ending at 6:11 p.m. ET Sunday (23:11 UTC), short liquidations on Binance, Bybit and OKX exceeded long liquidations more than sevenfold as Bitcoin (BTC) gained 1.24% on Binance's BTC/USDT spot market.
The Binance pair opened the interval at $74,219 and finished at $75,136. The three-exchange tally counted $2.64 million in short liquidations versus $360,000 in long liquidations.
At 6:11 p.m. ET (23:11 UTC), BTC remained 0.78% below its level 24 hours earlier. A later CoinGecko and exchange spot snapshot at 6:31 p.m. ET (23:31 UTC) showed Bitcoin at $75,407, down 0.39% over 24 hours. That reading uses a different observation time and comparison window.
The price is from Binance's spot market; liquidation amounts combine Binance, Bybit and OKX. Short positions generally benefit when prices fall, while long positions generally benefit when they rise. Liquidation totals count positions closed during the hour, not Bitcoin sold, as explained in earlier EconoTimes coverage of Bitcoin liquidations.
