Between 21:25 and 21:32 UTC it broke down to about $58.3 on Binance volume running 2.8× normal, and it reached $57.75 by 21:40, after the window ended. LTC fell more than BTC (-0.2%) and ETH (-1.01%) over the same window. Open interest dipped a little and liquidations were small, so this looks like a modest round of selling and position-cutting rather than a liquidation cascade.
