Traders often validate this signal by checking if perpetual funding turns less negative or positive and if open interest rises alongside a stable or improving spot-futures basis, which historically aligns with short covering and upside continuation in BTC (sources: https://www.binance.com/en/academy/education/what-are-funding-rates-and-how-do-they-work, https://www.cmegroup.com/education/courses/introduction-to-bitcoin/understanding-bitcoin-futures-basis.html). A concurrent decline in 25-delta BTC options put skew and stronger call demand typically reflects improving risk appetite and supports the bullish read-through (source: https://insights.deribit.com/education/options-skew-what-does-it-tell-us/). For execution, monitor liquidity depth and liquidation clusters to manage slippage and squeeze risk as derivatives flows flip, which can amplify directional moves in BTC (source: https://www.kaiko.com/research).

According to the source, 24-hour crypto derivatives liquidations totaled about $405 million, with $229.58 million from shorts and $176.10 million from longs. Source: the provided update. Based on the source data, shorts comprised roughly 56.7% of liquidations, implying a short-to-long liquidation ratio near 1.30 and a net short liquidation imbalance of about $53.48 million.

According to the source, more than 435 million dollars in crypto positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, including approximately 320 million dollars from shorts and 115 million dollars from longs, indicating a market-wide deleveraging event (source: the source post on X dated Sep 29, 2025). The reported split shows shorts were liquidated about 2.8 times more than longs, signaling short-side stress concentrated across derivatives (source: the source post on X dated Sep 29, 2025). Based on this source-reported short-heavy skew, traders may anticipate short-squeeze dynamics, faster funding-rate flips, and resistance break attempts in major perpetuals such as BTC and ETH, and consider tighter risk controls given elevated volatility risk in near-term sessions (source: inference from the source-reported liquidation data on X dated Sep 29, 2025).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, USD 358 million in crypto positions were liquidated over the last 24 hours. @MilkRoadDaily adds that 73.5% of these liquidations were shorts.

According to the source, BTC needs an additional 1.26% upside to wipe out roughly $3B in short positions, indicating a dense liquidation cluster just above spot, per the source.

Traders should monitor liquidation heatmaps, funding shifts, and open interest as price approaches the 1.26% mark cited by the source.
