Crypto markets recorded $955 million in liquidations over a four-hour period on Nov. 13, with positions betting on price increases accounting for most of the forced closures.

Long positions made up $870 million of the four-hour total, while short positions accounted for $84.63 million. The two rounded figures add to about $954.6 million, consistent with the $955 million aggregate. Long liquidations were more than 10 times the short total and represented about 91% of all liquidations in the window. Long positions gain when asset prices rise, while short positions gain when prices fall.

Across the preceding 24 hours, 183,302 traders were liquidated, with total forced closures reaching $1.623 billion. The largest single liquidation was a $31.09 million BTC-USD position on Hyperliquid, equivalent to about 3.3% of the four-hour aggregate.

The four-hour amount was about 59% of the 24-hour total; the periods overlap. The figures capture liquidations across the crypto market and show liquidation value was concentrated in long positions during the shorter window.
