Recent days have seen intense market volatility, with astonishing liquidation volumes across the entire network—total liquidations in the past 24 hours reaching $209 million. Among them, longs suffered heavy losses, with liquidations amounting to $57.9087 million, while shorts were not spared, with liquidations soaring to $151 million.

Breaking down by specific cryptocurrencies, the situation is even more noteworthy. For Bitcoin, long liquidations totaled $8.9236 million, and short liquidations reached $60.0588 million, clearly indicating that bearish traders took a significant hit. Ethereum also faced considerable pressure, with long liquidations of $6.22 million and short liquidations of $29.8496 million.

Even more alarming is the number of participants—within 24 hours, a total of 89,965 traders worldwide were liquidated, nearly reaching one hundred thousand. The most shocking single liquidation occurred on the ASTER ETHUSDT trading pair, with a liquidation worth $2.9508 million. Such figures are enough to alert any trader.

This wave of market activity once again demonstrates that controlling leverage reasonably and setting stop-losses are key to survival. The market is always full of uncertainties.

900,000 people get liquidated? How greedy can you be... The guys betting against Bitcoin are really suffering this time, losing over $60 million. Stop-losses really need to be set properly, or else it’s just a lesson in losing $2.95 million in a matter of minutes. Using such high leverage is really asking for trouble; the market doesn’t follow your script at all. This wave of short positions was manipulated in the opposite direction, and there's no joy in it.

Almost 100,000 people lost their funds in a day. Leverage is truly poison. Friends trading contracts, please set a stop-loss, okay? Not every rebound can be waited for. That order of 2.95 million... I was stunned. This is a bloody lesson. The short position this time is indeed tragic. With a liquidation scale of 150 million, being bearish is not a safe bet. Seeing this kind of data every day makes me even more determined to stick with stablecoins.

Oh my god, nearly 100,000 people liquidated? As a paper trader, I feel heartbroken for them... A single trade of 2.95 million was lost, how high must the leverage have been? You need such a good mindset to sleep peacefully. Bitcoin shorts really took a huge loss this time, over 60 million USD just gone. Serves you right for being so greedy... I think it's safer to just hold coins quietly without trading. Leverage is just a trap that can never be filled. Looking at these numbers, I’m glad I don’t use leverage, or I would have already been on the liquidation list. This time, I really need to learn my lesson. Stop-loss is so important, or else you're just gambling against the market.

100,000 people liquidated, this is another massacre. Futures contracts are really a man-eating thing.

Wow, 100,000 people liquidated? How much damage did that cause? Really, this wave of bearishness got hit hard, over $60 million, brother. $2.95 million per liquidation? I'm fucking stunned. How can anyone still open such large leverage? Isn't that just asking for death? It's always like this, a bloody lesson.
