Recently, the market has been quite volatile, and the liquidation data for yesterday has been released — the total liquidation amount across the entire network in 24 hours reached $209 million.

Specifically, longs were hit the hardest, with $52.54 million in liquidations. Shorts weren’t spared either, with a liquidation scale of $156 million. Calculations show that shorts were wiped out even more harshly.

The main reason is that major cryptocurrencies are causing trouble. Bitcoin saw $69.36 million in liquidations, and Ethereum experienced $39.66 million. These two coins account for the majority.

Looking at these figures, it indicates that this wave of market activity has indeed forced out many leveraged traders. Especially those with heavy positions and no stop-loss set, who are more likely to become the bagholders in such times.

BTC-1,54%

ETH-2,95%

Another day of bloodshed, this time the shorts are getting even worse, losing 156 million just like that. Leverage traders have been taught another lesson; really, stop-losses are necessary, or you're just giving away money. Bitcoin and Ethereum together have lost 109 million; these two coins are really ruthless. Looking at the liquidation data just makes me want to laugh; someone never learns their lesson every time. Those with heavy positions are definitely crying right now, as the dream of the bagholders is shattered again.

Here we go again, this round of selling is really fierce. Shorts were wiped out for 156 million, and longs aren't doing much better. The bagholders really didn't escape this time. Setting proper stop-losses is the key. This drop in BT directly caused over 69 million in losses. I watched those heavily invested traders cry.

Short positions of 156 million were directly liquidated. This data reveals the problem — the lack of a systematic risk control mechanism is the consequence of this.

Here we go again, this wave is killing it. 156 million shorts wiped out. I told you not to be so greedy. Those who don't set stop losses deserve to get hit—lessons learned the hard way. The big boys are making a killing on the treadmill, while retail investors are still counting their losses.

technically speaking, $209m liquidations in 24h? that's nothing compared to 2021 volatility... but yeah, the fact that shorts got liquidated harder tells you everything about market structure rn. leverage traders really never learn lmao

I knew it would turn out like this. I had a bad feeling when I checked the market yesterday, and sure enough, it's another big wipeout.
