Bitcoin drops toward $91k—traders face massive liquidation wave. Over $230 million in long positions wiped out as the market swung sharply. The sudden price movement caught leveraged traders off guard, triggering a cascade of forced closures across derivatives exchanges. This kind of volatility is exactly what moves markets and tests conviction.

Leverage traders are being taught a lesson again with nighttime sell-offs, with over 200 million directly evaporated. This is what you call paper wealth.

honestly if you actually analyze the mempool data, those liquidations were predictable af. the leverage ratios were just... demonstrably unsustainable. sub-optimal risk management, nothing more
