Liquidations involved leveraged positions

On October 26, 2026, Investor.id reported that about 118,155 crypto traders were liquidated over a 24-hour period, with liquidated positions reported at roughly US$815 million to US$821 million. The report put Bitcoin near US$80,438 at 5:55 a.m. WIB. These price and liquidation figures are snapshots from publication time and can change quickly.

What does liquidation mean?

In leveraged derivatives trading, an exchange may automatically close a position when available margin is no longer sufficient. The liquidation value refers to contracts being closed; it does not automatically equal losses for all spot Bitcoin holders. Each trader’s impact also depends on position size, leverage, margin, and execution price.

Risks to understand

Leverage magnifies exposure as well as the risk of losses and liquidation. Before using derivatives, understand margin mechanics, fees, and the possibility of losing capital; beginners may choose not to use leverage. Historical liquidation data is not a reliable signal of the next price move.
