BTC's recent market movement has indeed been fierce. After breaking through 95,000 yesterday, it continued to push higher this morning, reaching a high of $97,924. Currently, it is holding at $96,484. However, to put things into perspective, ETH and SOL's performance has been somewhat lackluster—ETH broke through $3,400 but has now fallen back to $3,330, and SOL also retreated from its high of $148 to $145, with both still hesitating near key resistance levels.

What's even more intense is the bloody scene on the derivatives side. According to data, the total liquidation amount across the entire network yesterday reached $680 million, with short positions being liquidated for $578 million. Although long positions also took hits, they only amounted to $101 million. Some institutions pointed out that this wave of short liquidations has set a new record since the major crash two years ago. The market's rebound strength can be seen from the liquidation data.

680 million liquidation, short positions suffered the worst, this is the price of BTC97k --- Why are ETH and SOL so weak, BTC is running wildly alone --- Another bloodbath, but this time it looks like the shorts are really wiped out --- 97924 just touched and then bounced back, can it still break through this height --- Over five billion in short positions liquidated, it seems the bottom-fishing shorts all got wrecked --- BTC's momentum, why is ETH still stuck at 3330, hurry up and catch up --- Derivatives bloodbath, it's always like this, watching from the sidelines is the most comfortable --- 97k not broken, feels like it's about to start oscillating --- Short position liquidation record, when was the last time, was it in 2022? --- ETH really drags behind, SOL too, only BTC is showing off

BTC is leading the charge, but ETH and SOL are still dragging behind. When will they catch up? The short sellers have really been wiped out this time, with 578 million in liquidation... It seems like those shorting should learn their lesson. Wait, why is it that every time BTC takes off, other coins lag behind? Is this reasonable? With 680 million in liquidation, the firepower is truly impressive. How are retail investors supposed to play? BTC is approaching 100,000 USD, but it feels like the bulls haven't had enough yet. $96,484—can this level hold, or will there be another pullback? ETH is really underperforming; even at this point, it's still struggling at 3330. It's hilarious. This slaughter feast... is really intense. The shorts are all bleeding. BTC is soaring, but the question is, when will it be our turn to profit as followers? Just looking at the liquidation data shows that this rebound is incredibly strong. Retail investors are either getting liquidated or trying to catch the bottom... So exciting.

Short positions were slaughtered again, and this time the scale is truly outrageous, 578 million just gone? BTC's rebound is indeed fierce, but I think most people are about to go bankrupt again. Why are ETH and SOL performing so badly? Is BTC the only one showing off? 爆仓 of 680 million... I just want to ask how much of it is the blood and sweat money of leverage traders. This is crypto — either you make a fortune or lose everything. BTC rising to the death, a nightmare for the bears.

Short positions wiped out again? 680 million liquidation, now that's the real money-making machine for the little guys. BTC is partying alone, while ETH and SOL are still hesitating—divergence is too obvious. Another wave of "shorting is suicide" market—this game is not for the faint-hearted. 97924 has been hit, now steady above 96k. BTC's current rhythm is truly unreasonable. Shorts cleared out with 578 million? How are there still people daring to go against BTC?

Short positions of 578 million were directly washed out. This rebound really isn't playing with you. BTC surged all the way to 97,924, feeling like there's still room to go up. But ETH and SOL are really underperforming; they just can't break through the resistance levels. This is true bloodshed—derivatives market with 680 million liquidation... just thinking about it hurts. BTC is so fierce, why are altcoins still hesitating? Wait, is the liquidation scale hitting a new high? Luckily, I didn't open a short position, haha. This move in ETH is just a fake breakout, stuck firmly at 3330. Once the liquidation data came out, it was clear how fierce this rebound was; the bears got completely wrecked. BTC is over 96,000 and still pushing higher. Have you bottomed out?

BTC is so fierce, the short positions are directly slaughtered... 578 million just gone, it hurts to watch. Why are ETH and SOL still hesitating? Hurry up and catch up, brothers. 680 million liquidation, this time the shorts are really wiped out, no wonder the rebound is so fierce. This week's market has been a bit too intense, the heart can barely handle it. Long positions still win, the data is right here.

Short positions being liquidated so aggressively, this is why I never dare to use such high leverage... BTC is already at 97,924, but I am still on the sidelines, feeling like it might retest lower. ETH's performance is so weak, why is it still so underwhelming? I should have gone all in on SOL. 6.8 billion in liquidation, I just want to know how many people woke up to find themselves back to square one overnight. Who still dares to short in this market? You must be tired of living, brother. I remember the big crash back then, and this time the liquidation scale actually exceeded it. I can't hold on anymore. Looking at this upward trend, I feel a bit scared. Could it be that big V is just manipulating the market to trap retail investors? The bulls and bears slaughter ground, the ones who get hurt are always retail traders like us.
