Alert! XPL’s move this time is too dirty: it pumped 42% and then immediately dumped—shorts were liquidated in 3 minutes for $32.99 million!

Early this morning, small coin XPL was played to death by the insiders. From 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., the price was hard-pushed up 42%, topping out at $0.167. Just looking at the on-chain data gives it away—there were 5 new addresses, as if coordinated; at 1 a.m. they simultaneously deposited $1.29 million, all opened high-leverage long positions, and worked together with a spot pump—so the principal doubled straight away.
These insider-to-the-bone tactics are too seasoned: just after 4:30 a.m., they pulled out all the profits and margin, moving the liquidation line to near the current price. Sure enough, at 5:10 a.m., when the price just reached $0.12971, those 5 addresses “liquidated with precision,” and the price instantly dropped 40%—retail investors were all left hanging, strung up at the top to blow in the wind. Is this even liquidation? Clearly, it’s unloading the bag under the pretense of liquidation!
Most outrageous is that this move was a two-for-one: during the pump, at least 4 big short whales were specifically liquidated, totaling $32.99 million in liquidations; during the dump, the insider not only profited on spot trading, but even that liquidation order turned into a take-profit order—earning a total of $1.6 million before running.
My take is simple: the altcoin market right now is just big fish eating small fish. This “triple-play” of wanting to profit from longs, collect liquidation fees, and then—on top—dump by hammering at high prices is something retail investors can’t possibly beat. Don’t touch these small coins—just watch the show.
