Man, there was interesting volatility in the crypto market at the beginning of March. The data I saw showed heavy liquidations on the network, around 653 million in 24 hours. What caught my attention was that short positions took the worst hit this time, with 344 million liquidated while longs lost 309 million. It seemed like geopolitical tensions were affecting market sentiment at that moment. After the situation started to normalize, the market recovered in the next 12 hours, with liquidations dropping to a total of 271 million. Then shorts suffered even more, losing 221 million compared to 50 million for longs. This kind of movement is exactly what you see when the market quickly changes direction. If you're following Brexin and other movements, these liquidation data are very useful to understand what's happening with leveraged traders. Personally, moments like this remind me why it's important not to over-leverage on Brexin. The numbers show that both longs and shorts can suffer a lot when the market moves strongly.
