$84M IN CRYPTO LONGS JUST GOT WIPED OUT IN THE PAST HOUR



Bitcoin has fallen back below $76,000, triggering a wave of liquidations across the market.

This is what leverage does.

The move down forces longs to sell, which creates more selling pressure, which triggers more liquidations.

And suddenly a small move becomes a much bigger one.

The market teaches us one thing: without leverage, you can still wait for a rebound; with leverage, you don’t even have the right to wait. Protect your principal.

This is how panic selling turns into a stampede: you sell, and I sell too, until everyone is jammed at the exit. Bitcoin has fallen back to $76,000, and another wave of liquidations may follow. Futures traders should stay away.

That’s how leverage works: get the direction wrong and you go straight to zero.

This market is a meat grinder for leveraged longs. What you think is a minor pullback can actually trigger a cascade of liquidations until you question your entire life. So the old saying is always right: don’t use leverage; staying alive is the only way to have a chance.

First Review
Every time I see news about liquidations like this, I can’t help but laugh. Futures traders really do lose money fast, while spot traders actually hope prices drop further so they can buy the dip.
