Recently, Bitcoin experienced a significant correction, falling below the $90,000 mark during trading hours, with a single-day decline of over 2%. This drop triggered a chain reaction in the global cryptocurrency market—liquidations within 24 hours exceeded $477 million, with retail investors holding long positions being the main "victims," accounting for over 90% of long liquidations. Other major cryptocurrencies also retraced, and market enthusiasm noticeably cooled down. The main reasons are the previous sharp gains, profit-taking by investors, and continuous outflows from various spot ETFs. The combination of multiple factors has significantly weakened the market's upward momentum.

It's another round of harvesting retail investors; retail traders are still dreaming.

It's the same old trick again; those who bought in at high prices should accept the loss.

Retail investors have been wiped out again, with over 90% long positions liquidated... That's why I don't dare to go all in.

ngl this 90% liquidation ratio is basically a masterclass in how leverage becomes the inverse of creative autonomy... the aesthetic of financial ruin, deconstructed

90,000 broken? Retail investors got wiped out again. This round of liquidation looks painful.

90% of the longs wiped out? That's the cost of leverage—someone has to pay tuition again.
