8.7 million USD suddenly plummeted to 24,000? This "Thanos-level" wick makes people exclaim it's unbelievable

Yesterday, when opening a major exchange, I almost got scared out of my wits. Bitcoin was steady at $87,610, but suddenly a candlestick chart showed a terrifying lower shadow dropping straight to $24,111. This isn't a limit-down; it's like being sent off directly.

Several questions need to be clarified:

**Is this a system malfunction or human error?** Such deep wick phenomena usually indicate liquidity being drained instantly, or a trader slipping up and directly rewriting the market.

**Who is the lucky one?** If someone actually placed an order at $24,000 and it got filled, based on this spread, they would make over 300% profit. That's more outrageous than winning the lottery—a one-second path to financial freedom.

**Are contract traders okay?** If this isn't a display error, then those long positions without stop-losses or with high leverage might have been forcibly liquidated before they could react.

**The market's real warning**

This event once again illustrates a truth: the crypto market is very fair to everyone, but fairness is about teaching people how to behave. Liquidity depth and order book details really determine life or death. In this market, never go all-in, always respect volatility.

Look carefully at the gaps in the order book depth chart; the risk is hidden in those areas with no takers. Do you see that wick? Is this a display error or a real trade?
