Last Monday, after the market plunged, I checked the liquidation data and found that large-scale liquidations were mainly concentrated on the Hyperliquid platform. In the past 4 hours, the liquidation amount on this platform soared to $235 million, with Bitcoin dominating, accounting for 44.68% (about $105 million), followed by Ethereum and SOL. Given the scale and structure of these liquidations, retail traders and small to medium-sized institutions doing long positions are hit the hardest.

There's also a detail—since December 1st, Hyperliquid's open positions have been steadily accumulating, reaching nearly 99.1% today. This indicates that leverage enthusiasm in the market has not cooled off. As long as the market jitters again, the next wave of liquidations could be just around the corner.

BTC-1,98%

ETH-3,48%

SOL-5,78%

Retail investors are again being cannon fodder, Hyperliquid's leverage stacking is really outrageous --- 99.1 is almost at the top, this wave must have a big plunge to feel comfortable --- 2.35 billion liquidation? Bitcoin accounts for 44%, that's too exaggerated --- Since December, piling up positions, is no one stepping on the brakes... --- Those who go long really deserve it, just look at this data and you know it's time to cut losses --- Next round of liquidation wave? Unlikely, it's already on the way --- Open interest approaching 99.1, the market is crazy indeed --- Hyperliquid's liquidation data can't hold up --- Retail investors and small to medium institutions are really miserable, being eaten alive

Retail investors have become cannon fodder again. It's really uncomfortable to watch the liquidation data on Hyperliquid. --- Leverage of 99.1x accumulated... How many people will die in the next plunge? --- $235 million vanished in an instant. This is the power of leverage. --- BTC alone accounts for 44% of liquidations, truly remarkable. --- It’s always like this—greedy people never learn to cut losses. --- Open positions are still piling up; it feels like another bloodbath is coming. --- I just want to know how the people who were liquidated are feeling right now. --- Hyperliquid’s recent liquidation wave has thoroughly cut through retail investors.

Retail investors are buried again. This time, Hyperliquid directly cleared 235 million, with BTC taking in over 100 million. That’s brutal. Leverage stacked up to 99.1 and they’re still playing. Are they waiting to die? If the market drops another 2%, it will trigger the next wave of liquidations. It’s painful just to watch. Why do the longs always get harvested? Hyperliquid’s platform is indeed prone to issues. Open positions are still increasing. These people really aren’t afraid. Their guts are incredible.
