In October 2025, Bitcoin’s latest liquidation map disclosed critical zones between $105K and $111.8K, with cascading liquidations totaling over $20 billion across major exchanges.

The latest Bitcoin liquidation map highlights critical zones, notably resistance at $111.8K. Aggressive liquidation pressure surfaced after leveraged positions were wiped. This event mirrors previous patterns of cascading liquidations.
Key venues such as Hyperliquid and CoinGlass play significant roles. Hyperliquid represents a large portion of open interest, showing correlation with market-wide liquidations, indicating broad market ramifications.
The event resulted in the liquidation of over $20 billion in leveraged positions, with major impact on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. This triggered increased trading volumes and highlighted market volatility.
Institutions pulled back from Bitcoin ETFs, withdrawing $536 million, as funds adjusted exposure. This shifts financial markets, underscoring institutional cautiousness.
In the aftermath, the total crypto market cap dropped to $3.6 trillion, a decrease of 6%. Trading volumes surged by 35%, reflecting forced deleveraging and capitulation across markets.
Historical trends indicate that similar past events often precede market rallies, following Bitcoin’s washout and recovery pattern. As noted by Glassnode Insights:
Brighter yellow-orange bands indicate heavier concentrations of positions at risk… As price approaches these clusters, market stress intensifies, making them key zones for anticipating sharp moves.
Such patterns involve high-leverage asset classes, requiring careful observation of market dynamics.
