Bitcoin pulled back to the $120,000 level today, triggering over $120 million in liquidations across major crypto assets within the past hour.

Roughly $100 million came from long positions and $20 million from shorts, with Bitcoin leading the liquidations at $67 million. Ethereum and Solana followed with $19 million and $14 million respectively.
