@LIGHT's recent performance has made many small-cap players uneasy. The liquidation price is only 2.57. What does this number mean? It indicates that once the market moves unfavorably, the risk of liquidation is imminent.

Many traders share this common flaw — they tend to enter long positions too aggressively but hesitate when shorting. When leverage is maximized, this asymmetrical mindset often breeds hidden dangers. The market's harshest punishment is reserved for those with unbalanced psychology.

During sideways consolidation, they slowly grind down, but suddenly, a sharp surge can occur. This rhythm is deadly for traders who can't keep up. Why do some people survive such market conditions? Simply put, they have a strong risk awareness. No greed, no panic, and clear position management.

The market is teaching us — every move is a live broadcast. Instead of regretting afterward, it's better to prepare in advance — set stop-loss levels, identify signals for adding positions. These details determine long-term survival chances. While some cryptocurrencies still have room for growth, the prerequisite is that your account can survive until that day.

2.57 is really a critical point; if the stop-loss isn't set properly, the account will be gone.

2.57 is really an outrageous liquidation price... Small retail investors playing this is too risky.

2.57 this liquidation price is indeed a bit risky... It's hard to watch. A market reversal and your account is gone, really? I just can't understand why you have to play with full leverage? Isn't it better to just stay alive? Going long and daring to go all-in, going short and instantly panicking, if this mindset can make money, then it's really surprising. The moment when the market consolidates and crashes is the biggest test of a person; many people just die there. Instead of regretting every day, it's better to set proper stop-losses and have a good sleep... really. For those coins that still have potential, let's first survive tomorrow before talking about anything else.

Laughing to death, 2.57 liquidation price, this is teaching us what "one candlestick changes life" means This wave is indeed fierce, ranging and sharpening the sword suddenly pulling the knife, I just like to see those brothers with full leverage in the group sending "Oh my god" Position management, to put it simply, is to let you live to see the next bull market, don't fall in the three seconds before dawn Not greedy, not panicking sounds easy, but when the time to smash the market comes, you'll realize what "easy to understand but hard to implement" means. This market is a live version of "The Hundred Faces of Life" Honestly, the courage to short has been scared away by the greed during the long positions.

2.57 is the liquidation price, you're really playing with fire --- Greedy when going long, timid when going short, that bad habit needs to change --- The moment I saw the sideways movement crashing down, I knew something was going to happen --- To put it simply, it's because there's no discipline in stop-loss, blame the market for being too ruthless --- If your account doesn't last until that day, even the best coins are useless --- Unbalanced mentality = account zeroing out, now you understand, right? --- Repeated tug-of-war, specifically targeting those without risk awareness --- No plan in place, you'll regret it when liquidation happens --- Not greedy, not panicking—easy to say, but who can do that at critical moments? --- Seeing others make money makes you jealous, but in the end, you get liquidated first
