Bitcoin fell below $82,000, but the cited reports do not establish what caused the move. Reported crypto long liquidations were about $120 million: WatcherGuru gave that figure for a 15-minute window, while Cointelegraph reported $119.78 million in longs and over $123 million total liquidations for the past hour. CoinBureau separately cited a $9.65 million BTC long as the largest single liquidation in the prior 24 hours. WatcherGuru · Cointelegraph · CoinBureau

The supplied posts give competing rounded figures and windows, but do not identify a catalyst. These independent news, social, and post reads check for contemporaneous explanations and clarify the reported liquidation totals and periods.
Step 1 found that the supplied reports give differing time windows and rounded totals, but none identify a verified catalyst. The available contemporaneous reports mention ETF outflows and risk factors, but do not tie them to this specific drop; the sources do not name a confirmed cause. The liquidation figures are $120 million in 15 minutes per WatcherGuru and $119.78 million in longs out of over $123 million total during the hour per Cointelegraph.
