What just happened?

BTC tanked $5K in three hours. Poof.
$210 billion vanished from total market cap.
$700 million in liquidations. Gone.

But here's the weird part—
No bad news dropped.
No presidential drama.
Equities didn't crash.
Macro stayed quiet.
Literally nothing triggered this.

So what was it?

Not a "market reaction."
This was pure leverage getting rinsed out of the system.

When the selling has no headline attached, that's usually your answer. Overleveraged positions got squeezed, dominoes fell, and the market did what it does best—flushed out the gamblers.

No conspiracy. No hidden FUD.
Just too many people playing with borrowed money on a volatile asset.

Welcome to crypto.

Leverage explosion, this is what crypto should look like --- It's this set again... still falling without any news, too normal --- $700M turned to ashes, this is the price of playing with leverage --- The most terrifying big dump is the one without beginning or end, indicating that the problem lies with the leverage --- Those who borrow money to trade cryptocurrency deserve it, the market is self-cleaning --- It's really absurd, evaporating $210B out of nowhere without any trigger? --- Leverage game players should wake up, this wave is a lesson learned

Here it comes again, that's why I advise you not to leverage... --- No headlines and still dumping? The smell of leverage explosion is obvious --- I said it, the quieter the fall, the harder it is, the borrowed money eventually has to be repaid --- 2.1 billion gone, and this is called normal fluctuation? It's really unbelievable --- Wake up everyone, this is the true face of leverage, nothing mysterious about it --- Why is it still dropping without news... oh right, it's all self-inflicted --- A typical storyless big dump, I can only say too many people are betting on loans --- Damn it, watching others get liquidated is just satisfying.
