The flash crash of Bitcoin on December 1st was, to put it simply, a collective massacre on the technical front.
First, let's look at the data: the Asian market directly plummeted by 4.3%, with $400 million in long leverage wiped out within two hours. As soon as the U.S. market opened on Monday, another $300 million in liquidation orders hit, and stop-loss hunting was ruthless.
Institutions and large holders haven't been idle either. The spot ETF has seen a net outflow of $180 million over five consecutive days, while whale addresses have dumped 10,000 Bitcoins. Those who need to run are already running, without any hesitation.
The more critical issue is liquidity. The market depth was already shallow over the weekend, and the tightening of global dollars combined with the liquidation of yen arbitrage positions has directly drained the liquidity from the market.
In summary: a pure leverage blow-up combined with institutional withdrawal, with no new fundamental news. The technical indicators are already oversold, with the RSI dropping below 30(, which can be seen as a washout action, but short-term volatility will definitely be significant. For those holding positions, be cautious and don't easily increase leverage.

It's the same old Whipsaw rhetoric again, you really expect me to believe the Whale sold out? The key issue is Liquidity, if it's drained, it's really unsustainable.

It's the leverage that's causing trouble again; it's time to wake up.

It's the same old trick, the blood of the leveraged traders is splattered all over the place.

Did the Whale sell off 10,000 coins? Institutions are all Rug Pulling, and we are still here catching a falling knife.
---
RSI breaking below 30 and still dare to say it's Oversold, hilarious, it can still continue to crash.
---
Liquidity being drained while leveraging leads to explosions, those playing with fire on the weekend are definitely crying now.
---
This wave is really a pure technical kill, there's no fundamental reason, it's ridiculous.
---
Spot ETF is still flowing out and you dare to buy the dip? I think it's unlikely.
---
Once the Asian market opens, it's up 4.3%, and another 300 million liquidation orders come in the US market, this rhythm is insane.
---
Even the yen arbitrage closing positions joined in the massacre, absurd.
---
Those with positions definitely can't sleep right now.
---
Another lesson for the leveraged traders, when will they ever learn?

Whale is dumping again, this wave is indeed fierce
Another round of leverage explosion, another round of institutions rug pulling, the old routine
RSI has broken 30 and it still doesn't stop falling? This whipsaw has to go to the ends of the earth
Why do some people insist on adding leverage, they really must be tired of living

It's another leverage disaster; contract traders will have to pay tuition again.

Here we go again, the leverage traders are getting liquidated, it hurts just to watch.
Institutions are doing a Rug Pull and whales are dumping, this pace is truly disgusting.
The RSI has already broken 30 and you still want to add leverage? Are you tired of living?
If it's a Whipsaw, then let it be, stop always thinking about buy the dip.
This time, the Liquidity is really gone.
