Recent 24-hour cryptocurrency perpetual futures liquidation data reveals significant market volatility. Bitcoin (BTC) liquidations topped $215 million, with a strong long liquidation bias of 77.71%. This suggests a large number of traders betting on Bitcoin's price increase were caught out by a sudden downturn. Ethereum (ETH) followed with $89.05 million in liquidations, showing a more balanced liquidation ratio of 50.95% long. While still significant, this indicates that both long and short positions were affected by price fluctuations in ETH. Zcash (ZEC) experienced $15.65 million in liquidations, with a slight long bias of 51.84%. While smaller in volume compared to BTC and ETH, the ZEC liquidation figures still highlight the risks associated with leveraged trading in the cryptocurrency market. These liquidation events underscore the importance of risk management and understanding market dynamics when trading cryptocurrency perpetual futures. High leverage can amplify both gains and losses, making it crucial for traders to exercise caution. ```
