As Bitcoin fell below the $93,000 level, a wave of large-scale forced liquidations hit the derivatives market.

According to Watcher.Guru on the 19th (local time), roughly $525 million worth of long (buy) positions were liquidated across the crypto market over the past 60 minutes.

As the price of Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $93,000—widely regarded as a key support level—cascading liquidations appear to have been triggered, particularly among high-leverage positions.

Market participants largely view the move not as a shift in fundamentals but as a structural response in the derivatives market to a short-term technical breakdown. With prices having traded in a tight range recently, an expansion in volatility is seen as having quickly flushed out leveraged positions.
