According to @rovercrc, over $105,000,000 in crypto positions were liquidated in the past 30 minutes as of Sep 17, 2025 (Source: X post by @rovercrc, Sep 17, 2025). The post did not provide an asset or exchange breakdown, leaving the share across BTC, ETH, and altcoin futures unspecified (Source: X post by @rovercrc, Sep 17, 2025). Forced liquidations occur when leveraged positions fall below maintenance margin and are closed by exchange risk engines, which can accelerate price moves (Source: Binance Academy). Clusters of liquidations are associated with short-term volatility spikes and wider spreads in crypto derivatives order books, heightening execution risk for traders (Source: Kaiko Research).

According to @rovercrc, USD 115,000,000 in cryptocurrency positions were liquidated in the past 60 minutes, indicating a sudden wave of forced position closures across derivatives venues (source: @rovercrc). Liquidations are forced closures of leveraged positions that can amplify short-term volatility and execution slippage during fast moves (source: Binance Futures).

According to @EmberCN on Twitter, a leveraged ETH position has rolled over to 4,136 ETH, valued at $9.88 million, with its liquidation price now lowered to $2,435—less than $50 below the current market price. This proximity to liquidation puts significant downward pressure on Ethereum in the short term, raising risk for derivative traders and potentially increasing volatility if liquidations are triggered. Traders are advised to closely monitor ETH price movements and order book activity, as large forced liquidations could intensify rapid price swings and present both risk and short-term opportunity.
