9.99 million USD single liquidation? Really, sometimes I don't know whether to feel sorry or to laugh. --- It's the leverage again, this time the short sellers got beaten badly. Serves them right. --- 99,000 people liquidated, can you imagine how those people are feeling right now? --- Hyperliquid, I lost everything in one go. That's the cost of playing with leverage. --- BTC short positions were wiped out, interesting, huh? A reverse indicator? --- Daily liquidation data, I'm numb to it now. --- Both longs and shorts are blowing up. Just ask yourself, are you scared? --- This market is really not gentle at all. Beginners should stay away from leverage. --- $3.53 million just disappeared? I'll never earn that in my lifetime.

Good morning everyone, another wonderful harvest season. The shorts were eaten for over 20 million, this is what you call a liquidity trap midnight buffet, over 90,000 fish were liquidated in one night, and the Hyperliquid guy directly sacrificed 3.53 million USD, truly an artistic level price shock. --- Leverage is the automatic teller machine for sandwich attack enthusiasts, this number looks so tempting. --- Shorts liquidation of 100 million? The robot paradise is having a late-night snack again, haha. --- The midnight tragedy of 99,000 people, each a victim in the liquidity trap, absolutely marvelous. --- Look at this short liquidation data, the arbitrage range is feeding certain people's wallets again, this is how time is cut away one slice at a time. --- High leverage? That’s the food chain for robots, 90,000 fish disappeared in one night, this is the real script of the market. --- That Hyperliquid order is a textbook case of perfect price impact, 3.53 million just gone like that, truly impressive.

Short positions liquidated for 100 million. This round of shorting really got hammered, who asked for greed? Hmm, 99,000 people liquidated in one day, this number is a bit exaggerated. Leverage is really a trap. That Hyperliquid order of 3.53 million is gone, I’m shattered. How many times leverage is that? To be honest, every time there’s such a big fluctuation, it’s a harvesting moment. Retail investors will never learn to reduce their positions. Shorts are so miserable, longs should also be cautious. Reverse operations are not insurance cards either.

99,000 people blew up, this is the price of high leverage --- That guy from Hyperliquid directly lost 3.53 million, what a big heart --- So many short positions were liquidated, did all the shorts get reversed? --- Just another normal market day, used to it --- 99,000 people liquidated in one day, calculating the average loss per person is a bit terrifying --- Bitcoin longs and shorts are fighting fiercely, the shorts took a big loss --- Every time I see this data, I feel lucky I didn't use too much leverage
