The crypto market experienced liquidations exceeding $67.62 million in the past 24 hours, with long positions being liquidated for as much as $38.98 million, accounting for over 57%. Data shows that losses on long positions are significantly greater than those on shorts, which typically reflects a short-term market sentiment that is clearly bearish—bullish traders have suffered heavy losses in this wave of decline.

Interestingly, BTC's current waterfall only lasted two days. Looking back at historical trends, the market often repeats the same pattern: first attracting more long traders to enter, accumulating enough long positions, and then executing a sudden sharp decline. Such tactics are most damaging to retail investors. Currently, caution is advised—short-term rebounds and trap setups often only a candle away.

Here we go again. I can memorize this routine: first lure in more, then trigger a drop. Retail investors are always the leeks.

Here it comes again, this routine is really incredible. In just two days, so many longs were wiped out, how miserable must retail investors feel. --- Over 3.9 billion was eaten up, I just wonder why some people keep walking into the gunfire. --- Rebound after clearing? Forget it, the next trap is waiting. --- That's why I only watch now and don't trade; candlestick charts are too devilish. --- Poor leverage brothers, their two-day bills are something they'll never forget in their lifetime. --- Run when there's a rebound, really, don't be greedy. --- This wave of BTC is too fierce, deeper than the last routine. --- Shorts are happy, longs are dead, the market is just so realistic. --- A trap of诱多隔一个烛线距离? That hits hard. --- Are retail investors doomed to be harvested, always losing out.

Here we go again with this set? Pumping and dumping, retail investors are always the little guys. --- Just two days to wipe out so many longs, I think it still has to fall. --- The trap of诱多 is just one K-line away... I've heard this many times before, still need to stick to the bottom line. --- Over 38.98 million longs liquidated? Damn, this wave of damage is really not small. --- When the rebound comes, I dare not chase; when it falls, I dare not bottom fish. This is probably the fate of retail investors. --- BTC's operation is a standard 'scythe harvesting' routine for retail investors, always the same old trick. --- Longs are directly hammered out, shorts probably made a killing this wave. --- What to beware of? The rebound is just a trap; wait until it drops even deeper. --- It feels like no one mentions risks when prices are rising, but when it falls, there are all kinds of warnings. --- Short-term rebounds always seem like诱多, but what if it's a real breakout?

Here it comes again, how many times has this routine been played out... Retail investors keep falling for it every time, really unbelievable --- 3.7 billion liquidation, longs are directly cut off, this is the daily life of crypto --- Killing so many people in just two days, what’s the point of a rebound? Let’s wait and see --- I already warned everyone to be cautious, but still a bunch of people rushed in, it’s hard for me to watch --- The question is, who can accurately judge the distance of the candlestick? Anyway, I can’t tell --- With this wave, someone will have to eat dirt again, feeling sorry for retail investors for three seconds --- The market’s play of killing longs and eating shorts, honestly, it’s just a tax on intelligence --- Short-term rebounds might just be trap setups, don’t play if you can’t handle it, everyone --- Over 67 million liquidations in one day, hearing this number really hits hard --- Longs have really become the big fools this time, BTC’s recent two-day trend is truly exceptional
