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.

Here we go again, this is the consequence of playing with leverage. Not using leverage really means you won't die. 2.51 million liquidation? That’s brutal. This guy probably can't sleep well. The market is like this, a single snapshot and everything blows up. You still need to learn to cut losses, or you'll offend the market sooner or later. This data looks exciting, over 600,000 people caught in the crossfire. Long and short positions both benefited, the exchange made a killing. Leverage is truly a devil, turning around in one second and going bankrupt in the next. It's time to learn from this, everyone. Risk management is no joke.

Laughing while losing this round again, it's another familiar 2.51 million drama, truly the daily practice of a high-stakes poker player. --- Over 600,000 people have entered, now it's just a matter of who can walk out smiling... I bet less than five yuan on it. --- Bull paradise, bear ICU, high-stakes poker with direct burn-out—this pace is so fast I can't even react. --- It's that old saying again: leverage is like my wallet, useful but easy to run out of. --- $105 million just disappeared like that. Some say it's market regulation; I say it's a self-service buffet for retail investors. --- Over two million gone in one shot. This guy is probably thinking now why he didn't go all in. --- Looking at this volatility, I finally understand: technical analysis is less useful than mental preparation; stop-loss orders are less effective than running away quickly.

Another exciting day, a $2.51 million explosion in one transaction. How much leverage does that take... I really can't hold it together.

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.
