Bitcoin Liquidations Top $1 Billion as Market Recovery Stalls
More than $1.1 billion in bullish crypto positions were liquidated as weak spot demand and institutional ETF outflows limited the rebound.
More than $1.1 billion in bullish crypto positions were liquidated as weak spot demand and institutional ETF outflows limited the rebound. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹71,46,576 ($75,915.00), down 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Cointribune, with live market data added, as of Sat, 07 Nov 2026 10:45:01 UTC.
The sell-off erased leveraged bullish exposure, but the lack of fresh buying suggests the market still lacks the spot demand and institutional participation needed to regain control. Continued ETF withdrawals would add to the pressure facing Bitcoin and other crypto assets.
- More than $1.1 billion in bullish positions was liquidated
- Institutional investors reportedly withdrew from spot Bitcoin ETFs
- Bitcoin trades at $76,101, up 0.36% over 24 hours
- Fear and Greed stands at 25, labeled Extreme Fear
A broad crypto sell-off liquidated more than $1.1 billion in bullish positions, according to Cointribune and Bitcoinist. The forced unwinding of leveraged exposure was followed by only a limited recovery, leaving the market without a sustained advance after the liquidation cascade.
Bitcoinist reports that the liquidations took place within 24 hours. It also says institutional investors continued withdrawing capital from spot 
Bitcoin ETFs, contributing to the shortage of fresh demand. Cointribune similarly argues that the immediate issue extends beyond excess leverage because spot purchases and institutional flows remain too weak to restore market control.
The figure is corroborated across both publications, which independently cite more than $1.1 billion in liquidated bullish positions. Their emphasis differs slightly: Bitcoinist focuses on the combination of forced selling and ETF withdrawals, whereas Cointribune presents the weak spot and institutional demand as the more persistent underlying constraint. Neither outlet provides a conflicting estimate.
The episode shows how leveraged positioning can amplify a market decline when buyers are insufficient. The liquidation total represents positions removed during the sell-off, while the subsequent weakness in spot ETF flows points to a separate limitation in fresh institutional buying. Together, those factors shaped the muted recovery described by both outlets.
Bitcoin is currently priced at $76,101, up 0.36% over 24 hours but down 1.50% over seven days. Its market capitalization is $1.53 trillion, while the broader crypto market stands at $2.62 trillion and is broadly flat over the reported period. The Fear and Greed index is at 25, corresponding to Extreme Fear despite the small daily gain in Bitcoin.
The wider data also show that the recovery remains uneven: 
JUST trades at $0.142056, down 0.28% over 24 hours but up 2.82% over seven days, with a $1.14 billion market capitalization. The factors to monitor are whether spot Bitcoin ETF withdrawals continue, whether fresh purchases strengthen and whether another wave of leveraged liquidations follows. These are current areas of focus rather than a forecast.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.55M (about $75,915.00), down 0.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
