#美国贸易赤字状况 Bitcoin dropped again yesterday, and this time the plunge was quite fierce—briefly breaking below the $90,000 mark, with the lowest hitting $89,600. It finally closed at $90,300, down 2.7%.

Ultimately, several bad news factors hit simultaneously. The global geopolitical situation has been tense, risk appetite has been suppressed, US stock futures also broke down, and combined with continuous outflows from the BTC ETF—institutions and large investors are busy clearing positions for arbitrage, while retail investors are running to cut losses, and followers are jumping in.

What was the result? Within 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the entire network's contracts exceeded $460 million, roughly 127,700 people were caught off guard, with over 90% of the long positions being liquidated. That’s the most heartbreaking part—the most aggressive downward moves hit the long positions hardest.

From a technical perspective, the $88,000 to $90,000 range is a critical support level. If it continues to break, caution is advised. Recently, attention should also be paid to how the US non-farm payroll data performs. If geopolitical tensions suddenly escalate, volatility could further explode, so traders should stay alert.

Here we go again, institutions clearing their positions while retail investors take the hit. This script is so cliché.

Once again a bloodbath, longs are really too miserable --- The smell of institutional clearing, retail investors are still taking the bait --- If 88,000 can't hold, it will be really dangerous later --- 46 million liquidation, this wave of cutting is a bit harsh --- Geopolitical tensions heat up, Bitcoin has to kneel --- Non-farm payroll data triggers another surge, probably breaking the bottom --- Clearing arbitrage, a typical institutional harvesting scheme --- Over 90% of long positions liquidated, that's outrageous --- Looks like we still have to wait for a wave, don't rush to buy the dip --- Risk appetite is tightly suppressed, short-term rebound is not visible

It's another show of institutions dumping, retail investors bleeding everywhere --- Wow, 127,700 people liquidated, how many must have gone bankrupt? --- Is 88,000 really unbreakable? It feels like it's going to fall through --- With the geopolitical situation so turbulent, how can the crypto world play? It's too difficult --- What does continuous ETF outflow indicate? Big funds are all fleeing --- Those who went long got crushed, this time really lost it all --- Before the non-farm payroll data is released, better hide; such volatility is too dangerous --- That psychological level of $90,000 seems hard to hold, I really can't take it anymore --- Institutions are arbitraging, we're just cutting losses, always the same story --- Next time I dare to chase the high, I’ll be a fool

Once again, institutions are dumping, retail investors are taking the hit—classic move. 4.6 billion in liquidation, 90% of the bullish traders wiped out—that's just outrageous. Whether 88,000 breaks or not depends on whether non-farm payrolls can save the day in the next couple of days. Deficit, geopolitics, ETF outflows—three-pronged attack, truly deadly. Friends holding long positions are definitely taking a heavy loss this time; next time, better wait and see. That 90,000 was really inflated; it should have fallen long ago. Still, we need to watch US stock futures—that's the real heart of the matter. 127,700 liquidations, the number sounds unbelievable. Institutions have fled, retail investors are still dreaming—laughable. If the level breaks, stop-loss; don’t be greedy, buddy.
