BTC Long Liquidations: $238.78
The dollar value of bets on the price rising that were force-closed each hour on Bybit. Big spikes mark waves of forced selling, which often land right at the bottom of a sharp dip.
Traders can borrow money to bet the price will rise. If the price falls far enough that their own deposit no longer covers the loss, the exchange closes the bet for them by selling — a forced closure.
This chart adds up the dollar value of those forced sales each hour.
The bars measure panic, not opinion. For example, a $180 million bar in one hour means that much borrowed-money buying was sold out from under its owners inside 60 minutes; that selling pushes the price down further, which forces more of it, which is why these spikes tend to appear at the low of a dip rather than the start.
Quiet stretches with no bars mean nobody is being squeezed. On the 90-day and 1-year views each bar adds a whole day together.
