#数字资产动态追踪 Account Stories of 80,000 Investors Within One Day

Just a few days into the New Year, the crypto world experienced a fierce shakeout. In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount in the market soared to $191 million. Talking about numbers might not give a clear picture—this amount is enough to make many traders feel distressed for quite some time.

Among the liquidated funds, short positions suffered the heaviest losses: $158 million. In other words, almost all those betting against the market were wiped out. The liquidation scale for $BTC was about $67 million, and for $ETH approximately $27 million. In the liquidation list of these two major assets, short positions account for the majority.

Behind these cold, hard numbers are over 80,000 traders' accounts being forcibly closed. One of the most exaggerated cases involved a Bitcoin contract order on a certain exchange, which directly resulted in a loss of $4.15 million. One trade, and it was gone.

**The Cost of Market Reversal**

This is the double-edged sword of leverage trading. When the price movement goes against most expectations, those with heavy positions and high leverage are quickly taught a harsh lesson. The pressure becomes so intense that forced liquidation becomes the only outcome.

Every such fluctuation tells the same story: volatility is inherent to this market. High returns always come with high risks—this is no news. But every time there's a big wave, some still choose to ignore it.

**Survival Is More Important Than Quick Profits**

True trading wisdom doesn't lie in predicting the next market move precisely, but in how deep your understanding of risk is. How you manage your positions, where you set your stop-loss, whether your risk control system is truly implemented—these are the secrets to long-term survival.

The market won't stop oscillating, and the story is far from over. Every participant should ask themselves: Am I chasing quick profits, or do I want to survive long enough in this market?

Because in the crypto world, those who can persist until the end often win more than those who rush to the finish line. $BTC $ETH

BTC-1,22%

ETH1,02%

Another wave of typical risk release, completely wiping out the shorts. Looking at this data distribution, the $158 million short position liquidation... what does it indicate? Market sentiment indicators have already reached an extreme. I'm actually a bit interested in the single loss of 4.15 million. Such extreme cases often signal interesting entry points. From a probabilistic strategy perspective, after this forced liquidation and cleansing, how will the distribution of chips look? Rather than regretting, it's better to think about why someone always goes all-in every time. It's a typical rookie mentality, always thinking they can dodge the next one—

$191 million lost in one day, 80,000 people buried with it... The guys who are bearish have truly been educated this time --- It's the leverage again, insisting on chasing huge profits, only to be slapped awake by the market --- $4.15 million evaporated directly, lost in just one transaction, this is the true face of crypto --- Poor risk control, no matter how much you earn, it's all in vain. The market is teaching us how to behave --- Every time they say be careful next time, then they add leverage again. When will they learn? --- Being alive is the real winner, a more realistic advice than quick wealth

80,000 accounts lost in one day, this move is really ruthless. I just can't understand why some people still dare to open 100x leverage; greed truly is the original sin.

1.91 billion dollars lost in one day, the shorts are really collectively checking into the ICU haha 80,000 people liquidated, is this what you call a New Year’s big gift package? Smiling and losing everything in this trade 4.15 million gone, I’m thinking about how this guy will explain this bill to his family Leverage, huh? When you’re making money, you’re a genius; when you’re losing, you’re just a victim of market fear The short positions all failed, the shorts should be writing their "2025 remorse letter" now Where’s the promised risk control? Turns out it’s still being dominated by forced liquidations. No wonder they say surviving is harder than getting rich quickly This market move taught me the most profound lesson: even if you predict correctly, it’s useless; life is more important The guys going all-in should now see through it; not all beliefs are worth heavy positions The first lesson of the new year is being beaten up by the market. Fellow investors, you’ve paid quite a tuition fee Every big fluctuation, someone chooses to turn a blind eye. Next time, it’s probably the same group shouting in the group chat, here comes another wave
