Crypto Liquidations Hit $186 Million in One Hour as Ether Leads

Crypto liquidations totaled $186 million across the market in a one-hour reading timestamped at 9:34 a.m. ET Saturday, with long positions making up nearly all of the reported total and Ether leading individual assets.

Long positions accounted for $181 million, while short positions totaled $5.4592 million. Those figures add to about $186.5 million, consistent with the reported $186 million total when rounded. That left a roughly $175.5 million gap between long and short liquidations.

Ether (ETH) liquidations reached $60.9795 million during the same hour, the largest asset-level amount listed. Bitcoin (BTC) ranked second at $54.6108 million. Combined, the two assets accounted for about $115.6 million, or roughly 62% of the stated market total. Ether's liquidation amount was about $6.4 million higher than Bitcoin's.

The tally carries a 9:34 a.m. ET (14:34 UTC) timestamp on Nov. 14. Long-side liquidations exceeded short-side liquidations by more than 33 to 1, making the imbalance the clearest feature of the one-hour snapshot.
