An Oct. 22 Bitcoin backtest estimated that 47% of hypothetical 10x perpetual longs would have been liquidated during 180-day periods in which Bitcoin ultimately closed above its starting price. Saurabh Deshpande, the report’s author, used daily Bitcoin (BTC) closing prices from January 2018 through October 2026. For 60-day periods in which Bitcoin closed above its starting price, the analysis estimated an 18% liquidation rate for a 10x perpetual long. The estimate rose to 29% for 90-day periods and 47% for 180-day periods in which Bitcoin closed above its starting price.
