$140 million worth of Bitcoin and crypto asset short positions were liquidated within four hours! Market sentiment suddenly shifted, and bullish forces regrouped. What does this wave of liquidations reflect? Short-term traders betting against the market faced stop-losses, while spot investors began to enjoy the rebound benefits. When large short orders are forced to close, it often signals a critical turning point in market sentiment.

The shorts are blown up, and this is what we want! --- $140 million USD clearly stated, the tactics are a bit aggressive --- It's the same old trick, every time the shorts are liquidated, they start shouting about a turning point. Did those who believed make money? --- Spot traders laugh last, and the shorts are about to cry again --- A liquidation wave is coming, are we going to see another spike next? --- Is this rebound real or fake? To be observed... --- All the short orders are gone, the bulls' celebration time has arrived --- $140 million USD, so what? How much has the total liquidation been this month? --- Stop-loss and it's over? Shorts should reflect on this --- Market sentiment turning points happen every week, don’t lie to me --- At this moment of forced liquidation, the old blood pressure of the shorts is skyrocketing

$140 million? Haha, it's the same old trick. The shorts get slaughtered, the longs cheer and celebrate, and then what? The next four hours, it happens again? --- The liquidation wave is the market speaking. Let’s see who plays with leverage the wildest. --- People holding spot positions must be ecstatic right now, but I’m still watching. How far can this rebound go? We’ll see. --- Shorts stop-loss, stop-loss, keep messing around, feels like cutting leeks. Who’s making money? --- Turning point? Every turning point is just the next trap, who knows if it’s real or not. --- $140 million in liquidation volume, no wonder the market is so volatile. Leverage traders are collectively exploding.

Once again, I got liquidated. I told myself I shouldn't go all-in on short positions... If only I had known earlier. The liquidation price was set too tight, and this time, the ones who suffered huge losses are the margin traders. Watching the 140 million forced liquidation, my small losses are nothing, but really, risk control points can't be overlooked. If I had known, I would have added to my position. Now, I can only watch others eat the profits. This turning point came too quickly. When the borrowing rate skyrocketed, I knew a liquidation was imminent. Shorting still requires caution; my lesson is right here. When the wave of forced liquidations hits, retail investors can't withstand it. I am a case in point.

140 million liquidations, again the market I didn't fully catch, I'm overwhelmed --- The shorts have been blown up, this is the moment of celebration for the holders --- Rebound turning point? Why do I feel like it's the start of the next round of trapping... --- So many long positions were forcibly liquidated, how many people woke up this morning to find themselves bankrupt --- Oh my, this wave of liquidations, are the bulls about to take off? --- Spot traders are quietly smiling, futures traders have already gone to the hospital --- 140 million can change market sentiment? So this is a massive volume? --- Turning point, turning point, every day a turning point, I'm damn dizzy from all these turns...

$140 million wave of liquidation? Shorts are crying their eyes out. I think this is just institutions accumulating. --- Here we go again talking about the turning point, every time it's the same. Wake up, everyone. --- Short sellers really deserve it. Now you know the joy of holding, right? --- What does the liquidation wave indicate? It shows that leveraged traders are losing money again. Contracts are just a meat grinder. --- Wait, is this the real market signal? Are the bulls about to take off? --- I just want to know who made moves on the scale of $140 million. Institutions? Or big players harvesting the little guys? --- In this kind of market, those still daring to short are either true warriors or just fools. Can't tell the difference anymore. --- Rebound dividends? I'm still losing on spot. Don't fool me into buying high. --- Forced liquidation? Just do it. Tomorrow will be another story. Don't get too excited.

Haha, the bears have been exposed again. That's the price of greed. --- $140 million... This liquidation scale is not small this time. It seems the bulls are really gathering strength. --- Basically, the leverage traders can't hold on anymore. Now it's the spot traders' turn to laugh. --- Turning point? Or another wave of cutting leeks? Who knows, as long as I hold steady. --- Always saying it's a turning point, then it drops again next time. How many times has this routine been played? --- I've long said that bears won't get good results. It's better to be honest and go long. --- $140 million liquidation... How many people must be unable to sleep? Haha. --- That's why I don't touch leverage. Staying alive is more important than anything else.
