The cryptocurrency market has been turbulent in the past 24 hours. The total liquidation across the entire network has surpassed $105 million, with long positions liquidated at $80.8315 million and short positions at $23.7843 million. The intense volatility of this market has involved 60,486 traders worldwide.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have not been spared, with both major cryptocurrencies experiencing consecutive liquidations of long and short positions. The most alarming is the largest single liquidation, amounting to $2,519,200 — such a figure is enough to make any leveraged trader break out in a cold sweat.

Behind the market's extreme fluctuations lies the high-risk nature of leveraged trading. When long and short forces become unbalanced, stop-loss orders are triggered instantly, leading to a chain reaction. This scene has played out again in the crypto market, serving as a reminder to all participants: risk management should always come first.

$2.6 million eaten in one bite, this is the joy of playing with leverage.

$2.51 million lost, this is the price of leverage.

It should be pointed out that the essence of this liquidation wave was implicitly demonstrated in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper — the market will always punish those greedy actors who violate the fundamental principles of technology. A single liquidation of $2,519,200? Laughable, this is the fate of fiat-minded players. On-chain data shows that every such bloodbath is filtering out those who truly understand self-custody. Leverage traders, hear me out: Bitcoin's decentralization was never meant to facilitate your contracts.

This wave of market movement is really crazy, everyone is getting liquidated... Oh my god, a single order of 2.51 million USD exploded, who can withstand that? Leverage is really playing with fire, even if you get a bargain, you'll lose your entire fortune. The market is so fierce that I’d rather play it safe and realize my profits, no need for all those flashy tricks. Another wave of followers entering the market has been washed out, it's a classic cycle. Stop-losses can't save you; this is the true face of crypto.

Oh my god, it's the same old trick again. Leverage is always a way to eat people without leaving bones. --- A single liquidation of 2.51 million, this guy probably has to eat dirt. --- I just want to know, at such times, who is bottom-fishing, or are they all just cutting losses. --- Over 600,000 people liquidated, that number sounds terrifying. I think I'll stick to spot trading. --- Both longs and shorts are being harvested, the exchange must be the happiest. --- The numbers look impressive, but it's actually just the fate of retail investors... --- Who knows how many people went bankrupt in this wave? A warning bell. --- Why do some people never learn their lesson and insist on playing with leverage? --- Losing 2.51 million, just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. Who can withstand this? --- Failing to set proper stop-losses leads to this outcome. Time to reflect.
