According to the source, over $242 million in crypto long positions were liquidated in the last 4 hours, indicating a concentrated long squeeze across derivatives venues (source: the source). Large liquidation cascades can amplify short-term volatility as forced selling hits order books and triggers follow-on stops, so traders often anticipate momentum continuation into nearby liquidity pockets (source: Binance Academy; Deribit Insights). For trade setup validation after a deleveraging event, monitor open interest resets, funding rate flips, and liquidation heatmaps for potential reversal or continuation signals (source: Coinglass analytics).

According to @Ashcryptoreal, a whale with a self-reported 100% win rate has opened an $87.4 million BTC long position, as stated in an X post on Oct 23, 2025 (source: Ash Crypto on X). Historical market microstructure data show that large aggressive long flows from whales often coincide with short-term positive price impact and rising perpetual funding rates, which traders should monitor closely after such orders (source: Kaiko Research, Market Liquidity and Microstructure, 2023). Derivatives analytics further suggest watching for simultaneous increases in open interest with price appreciation to confirm trend continuation, while sharply rising positive funding with flat price can indicate crowded longs and squeeze risk (source: Binance Research, Futures Metrics Primer, 2022). Large leveraged flows also raise the probability of liquidation clusters being triggered if price reverses, which can amplify volatility in both directions (source: Glassnode Insights, Derivatives and Liquidations Dynamics, 2021).
