Bitcoin liquidations spike, erasing $125 million in a single day of market turbulence

Market Shock Overview

The March 15 2025 crypto market saw $125 million in Bitcoin perpetual‑future liquidations within 24 hours. Over 81 % of the forced closures were long positions, highlighting a heavy bullish bias among leveraged traders. The event triggered rapid price pressure as exchanges automatically sold contracts to meet margin calls.

Cross‑Asset Liquidation Trends

Ethereum suffered $97.15 million in liquidations, with 83 % of them long, while Zcash recorded $25.96 million, 70 % long, indicating a coordinated correction across major coins. High leverage (10‑25×) and sharp volatility made long traders especially vulnerable. Perpetual futures, lacking expiry dates, amplify such cascades through funding‑rate dynamics and thin liquidity.

Implications and Risk Management

The cascade underscores the need for conservative leverage, diversified exposure, and active margin monitoring. Modern exchanges now employ isolated margin, partial liquidations, and insurance funds, reducing systemic risk but not eliminating it. Traders should watch liquidation clusters as potential support or resistance zones and adopt stop‑loss strategies to limit downside.
