Bitcoin falls below $92K, experiencing a major liquidation in the futures market. In the past 4 hours, a total of $243M in positions were liquidated, of which $229M came from long positions and only $15M from shorts.



This wave of liquidations reflects the fragility of bullish traders in the market. When BTC breaks through a key support level, stop-loss orders are triggered en masse, causing a chain reaction that intensifies liquidations. Long positions account for 94% of the total liquidation, indicating that current market risk appetite remains fragile, and investors chasing gains are under the most pressure during this decline.

From a trading perspective, short liquidations are far lower than long liquidations, suggesting that short sellers are managing risk more cautiously. This asymmetric liquidation structure often signals that the market may further test support levels—or, during rebounds, longs may re-enter. In any case, such data volatility serves as a reminder for traders to stay vigilant, as markets tend to be most volatile at key price points.

The bulls got crushed again haha, 94% liquidation ratio is outrageous --- The bears only cleared 15 million, these guys are really good at hiding --- Breaking support levels triggers a chain reaction, all because you chased the high --- It's time for the bulls to lie down and win --- This market is just testing who will cut losses --- 92K broke, and some still dare to buy the dip? Courageous --- Bulls really should learn from bears how to do risk control --- Oh my, 243M gone in an afternoon, this is the cost of leverage --- I have a feeling it will test lower, bulls hold on

Longs got slaughtered again, with a 94% liquidation ratio... This is the price of chasing the high. --- Shorts only liquidated 15M, why does it feel like those shorting are living quite comfortably? --- Once the key support level is broken, stop-loss orders trigger in a waterfall effect, the chain reaction is really intense. --- 243M disappeared in an instant, this wave of liquidation waves has left longs a bit stunned. --- Short risk management is indeed cautious; it seems like bottom fishing still needs to wait. --- Breaking 92K so directly? Longs are really fragile. --- What does the asymmetric liquidation structure indicate? There will probably be more tests of support later. --- Friends chasing longs got hurt this time; the 94% liquidation ratio is really heartbreaking. --- Why does it feel like short liquidations are so few? Shorters are just watching the show. --- The key price point is indeed a meat grinder; this wave will wipe out another round of people.
