If you didn’t sleep well last night, type “didn’t sleep” in the comments—I know many of you were watching the charts until the early hours.

That squeeze was brutal.
Around $2.4B in shorts reportedly got liquidated within 12 hours, completely clearing out a huge chunk of sell-side positioning.
When leverage gets this crowded, price doesn’t need much of a push before the exits become the fuel.
One of those moves that reminds you how fast crypto can punish crowded trades.

After prediction markets and Robinhood, the one currently with the largest pool of funds is: the card market
IP + blind-box format, basically the online version of Labubu.
Each pack of cards is not cheap, so it generates high trading volume.

When a trade starts with a good story, people believe it, and more money enters, with leverage built.
Eventually, everyone is on the same side.
Then one piece of bad news hits.
The story may still be good, but if everyone rushes for the exit at once, things can get ugly fast.
That's why a good thesis doesn't always mean a good trade. Before following the crowd, ask:
How crowded is this trade?

The opportunity matters, so does the crowd already

Young people who have been liquidated should regain confidence in starting a new life; all hardships will eventually pass. Many heroes and great figures endured countless liquidations before achieving greatness, and many heroes and great figures had to overcome countless hardships before succeeding.
