Binance at the eye of the storm as Bitcoin wrestles with $35,000 mark, triggering significant liquidations
Quick Take
Bitcoin has been struggling to regain the $35,000 price level over the weekend, causing a wave of liquidations in the crypto market.
In the past 24 hours, the crypto market witnessed approximately $114 million in liquidations — $66 million on the long side and $48 million on the short side.

Nearly half of the total liquidations — approximately $50 million — took place on Binance. Bitcoin bore the brunt of these liquidations, with over $30 million liquidated, indicating a strong market response to the price fluctuations.
An examination of the liquidation heatmap from Nov. 5 presents an interesting trend: a significant amount of leverage congregated around the $34,400 mark. As Bitcoin touched this level, it resulted in a surge of long liquidations.
