MAJOR LIQUIDATION WAVE SWEEPS CRYPTO MARKETS

A significant $111.26M in liquidations flooded the market within 24 hours, creating turbulence across leverage positions.

The carnage hit both sides hard: long traders faced $59.69M in forced closures, while short positions absorbed $51.57M in liquidations. This balanced liquidation pressure reveals that leverage was aggressively flushed across the board—neither bulls nor bears managed to escape the volatility.

What this signals: When liquidations hit this scale on both sides, it typically indicates sharp price swings triggered stop-losses and margin calls across the board. Retail and institutional traders betting with heavy leverage both got caught in the squeeze. Keep an eye on support and resistance levels—further moves could trigger another round of cascade liquidations.

$110 million Get Liquidated, both sides are feeling the pinch, this is the fate of leverage. --- Here we go again, every time they say they are optimistic about the support level, but it breaks the moment they turn around... --- Ngl, this wave of cleaning is too brutal, it feels like both longs and shorts are being affected. --- Waiting to see the chain reaction of liquidations, it feels like it's not over yet. --- Damn, got played again, why am I always the dumb buyer? --- Balanced liquidation on both sides? Simply put, the market is cleaning out retail investors. --- In this kind of market, those who dare to use Full Position leverage are really gambling with their lives. --- Goodness, $50 million longer and $50 million shorter, feels like it's evenly split. --- The support level is gone, what's the next target... --- After the cleaning, let's continue, after all, suckers are never-ending.

Here it comes again, double-sided Get Liquidated, this time no one can escape. Over 100 million in bloodshed, my palms are sweating just watching it. Leverage players have really learned their lesson this time... not a chance. The next wave still has to fall. 111M? What a joke, just wait and see if the subsequent support level breaks. This is why I only go all in Spot, feels great. With both sides getting liquidated so much, it shows the bottom hasn't been reached yet. Let's continue to watch the show.

$111M liquidation wave and neither bulls nor bears escaped... ngl this reeks of coordinated liquidation hunting. lemme pull the transaction data real quick because those perfectly balanced numbers ($59.69M vs $51.57M) are flagging some serious pattern anomalies. statistically suspicious if u ask me
