Mass Liquidations in 24 Hours: Who Exactly Is Being Liquidated in This Downturn?

Whenever the cryptocurrency market experiences a sharp decline, exchange liquidation data is often more worth watching than prices themselves. A price drop is only the surface; what truly affects market structure is the forced closure of large numbers of leveraged positions.

So, which traders are most likely to become victims in this downturn?

First, highly leveraged longs. When investors use high leverage to go long, even a certain degree of adverse market movement can trigger forced liquidation. The higher th

Longs Got Wrecked in an Hour! Bitcoin Rebounds After a Flash Crash to $73,510—Will $73,000 Be the Last Line of Defense?

If there’s anything in crypto more thrilling than prices going up and down, it’s liquidations.
This time, SBTC suddenly plunged, briefly falling to $73,510 within 15 minutes before quickly rebounding. The price swung back and forth, as if the market were reminding investors: You can ride a roller coaster, but maybe don’t strap your entire net worth to the seat.
Data shows that about $745 million in positions across the market were liquidated in just one hour, including about

“Bitcoin’s Free Fall Is About to Begin! Storage Stocks Break Below Weekly Support, Bubble Bursts!”

The two downside targets for Bitcoin that I called as early as 10.26, 76,300 and 73,300, have both been reached. It’s still too early to buy the dip at current levels, because there has been no panic selling on the daily chart. Bottoming takes time; it won’t happen in just a few days.

Let’s look at today’s market. First, the weekly middle band target of 73,000 was flagged well in advance, and it has now been reached. There isn’t even a bottoming pattern on the 3-day chart, and the current 3-day

Bitcoin stages a late-night scare! $73,510 pierced in an instant, longs pay $715 million in tuition—is it time to buy the dip?

Bitcoin’s move this time was more thrilling than a horror movie.
SBTC suddenly plunged within just 15 minutes, hitting a low of $73,510 before quickly rebounding. One second, you’re imagining the bull market continuing; the next, your account may already be playing sad background music.
What’s most shocking is the liquidation data: in just one hour, about $745 million worth of positions across the market were liquidated, including about $715 million in long positions.

I missed the move, and it feels a bit frustrating.
[Position Opening Details]:
$BTC On Friday night, the price fell from around 810 into the 748–765 range, continuing the broader downtrend. I chose to chase the short. It dropped to around 748, the higher-timeframe low, on Friday night. I set a stop loss at 770 and take profit at 748, waiting for a second test of the low. Liquidity weakened over the weekend, and several attempts to push above the 762 resistance failed. Considering the timeframe and funding fees, I changed the take-profit level to 751 and set the stop at breakeven. This mornin

The Nasdaq 100 has fallen about 14% from its October high.
Two long bearish monthly candles do signal a possible short-term top, but I actually hope it keeps pulling back, ideally by 20%–30%.
Historically, buying the dip after a 10% drop is a bit early; the odds improve a lot after a 20% drop, and it looks more like a golden opportunity near 30%.
In 2022, the Nasdaq 100’s maximum drawdown exceeded 30%, and it took about a year to recover its previous high.
U.S. stocks do fall, but they are indeed good at recovering.
But by the time it really drops 30%, many people may already be out of the mar

Why do some trading strategies perform very well in range-bound markets, but start losing repeatedly as soon as the trend reverses?

Have you ever experienced this?

A strategy performs well over the past few months. The backtest curve is steady, and the win rate looks impressive.

But one day, the market starts to change.

Buy signals that used to work begin failing one after another, stop-losses become more frequent, and the account drawdown keeps growing.

You start questioning the indicators, adjusting the parameters, or even considering replacing the strategy entirely.

But there is one p

A Moment of Panic at $73,510! Is Bitcoin Shaking Out Weak Hands or Selling Off? $745 Million in Liquidations Send a Dangerous Signal

The Bitcoin market has increasingly started to feel like a TV series lately, with a new plot twist every day.
This time, SBTC suddenly plunged, hitting a low of $73,510 within 15 minutes before quickly rebounding. The whole thing happened so fast you might wonder if you missed several episodes.
However, what really made the market nervous was the liquidation data.
In just 1 hour, around $745 million in positions across the market were liquidated, including aroun
