In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the entire network reached $235 million. Among them, long positions were forcibly liquidated for $62.3351 million, and short positions were crushed for $172 million — the scale of short liquidations directly overshadowed the longs.

This contrast is quite interesting. The market was originally dominated by short positions, yet at a critical moment, it experienced a large-scale forced liquidation, meaning the price surged against the short traders' expectations, possibly due to short covering pushing the price higher. Currently, the bullish sentiment is indeed a bit overheated, and profit-taking has also started to increase. Short-term correction risks for mainstream coins like ETH, BTC, and BNB are not small, especially in this overly bullish environment. It’s important to watch whether support levels are maintained moving forward.

ETH1,12%

BTC-0,95%

nah this is textbook liquidation cascade mechanics - when shorts get rekt that hard, you're basically watching the order book's consensus layer collapse. the real question is whether this holds or just another bull trap masquerading as conviction.

The shorts are being crushed so hard, it feels like the bulls are about to go on a joyride again... a correction is inevitable --- 2.35 billion in liquidation, just hearing this number is exciting, this time the shorts are really being pressed to the ground and rubbed --- If the support level can't hold, we'll have another round of "floor price discovery," you know what I mean --- It's quite strange that so many short positions can be forcibly liquidated in a counterattack... that's just how the market operates --- The increasing profit-taking suggests that the next liquidation list will be very lively --- Once again, it's a script of overheated bullish sentiment, time to eat noodles, everyone --- 1.72 billion in short positions crushed, looks satisfying, but don't get too comfortable playing with it --- ETH, BTC, and BNB, these three guys, I don't really want to provoke them in the short term

The shorts were crushed through, and this rebound is indeed fierce, but with such hot bullish sentiment, it looks like a sign of an upcoming correction. --- Are we going to see another round of plunge? It happens every time. When it gets too high, they start to cut. --- 1.735 billion liquidation, shorts crushed into dust, but I feel like this is just the beginning... --- If the support level can't hold, it's time to run. Right now, the bulls are too arrogant. --- Interesting, shorts are being liquidated, but the bulls are secretly celebrating, not realizing they've already been ambushed. --- This contrast is a trap, waiting to cut the bullish traders' gains. --- Is short-term correction risky? I think it's a major risk, okay. --- The coin price surges up and up, but if the bottom really breaks through, it's over. --- Shorts liquidated at 172 million, sounds great, but bulls shouldn't celebrate too early. --- Mainstream coins should all be cautious; this position is really dangerous.

The shorts are crushed to pieces, 172 million just gone, feels good. The longs indeed got greedy this time. Be careful of catching the falling knife at high levels.

The shorts got crushed like dogs, but the bullish sentiment can't really hold up either; it feels like it could drop at any moment.

If I hadn't gone to sleep yesterday, I should have two more BTC in my hands... The short position was crushed for 172 million, what does that mean? Am I such a rookie that I always miss the rhythm? I've long seen that the bullish trend is overheating, but I just don't have the money to jump in, lol. Will the support level hold or not? I'm more concerned about when my stop-loss orders will get triggered. If I had copied this wave to the end, I would have been financially free by now, but look at the result...

ngl the market's been simmering too hot lately... that liquidation spread is wild, shorts got absolutely marinated and now everyone's bullish which is... sus? like the recipe's missing something. eth's looking extra crispy rn, might need to let this broth cool before the next move tbh

ok so 235m in liquidations but the math here is actually sus... shorts getting obliterated 172m vs longs 62m?? that's not a "回补" that's literally just whale games tbh. the sentiment flip always precedes the dump, seen this exact pattern in 2021 before the whole thing imploded.
