ETH is trading at $1,550, and its liquidation map tells a lopsided story. Across Binance, OKX, and Bybit over the past 180 days, the leverage is almost entirely stacked on the short side, above current price. Below it, there's very little left.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are clawing back ground after a brutal session. BTC has bounced to $61,742 from a low of $59,010, and ETH sits at $1,652 after touching $1,550. The recovery is real, but it's happening against a backdrop of $1 billion in liquidations over 24 hours, one of the three largest liquidation events of the past 90 days.
