【BlockBeats】On January 19th, a significant liquidation wave occurred in the futures market. According to data, the total liquidations across the network in the past hour reached $551 million, with long positions liquidated at $533 million and short positions approximately $17.74 million. This indicates that bullish investors in the market have borne greater losses.

What is even more notable is the market performance over the past 24 hours — a total of 235,924 people faced liquidations worldwide, with cumulative liquidation amounts reaching $660 million. The largest single liquidation occurred on the ETH-USD trading pair on Hyperliquid, with a liquidation amount of $15.5252 million.

These figures reflect high market volatility at present, and the risks faced by investors engaging in high-leverage trading are also increasing. Whether due to sudden market swings or pressure on positions, many traders were caught off guard. For users involved in futures trading, the importance of risk management and position management is once again emphasized by the market.

Once again, I got liquidated. The fools who are bullish are even worse. That's why I absolutely dare not open margin trades.

Oh my God, 230,000 people liquidated in one day? This leverage is really playing with fire. Once again, a day where longs are washed out and shorts win effortlessly. The market changes just like that... A single liquidation of $15.52 million, it’s painful just to watch. Why do some people still dare to go all-in? The liquidation wave is here, everyone. It’s time to wake up. $500 million lost in one hour—that’s the price of high leverage. Bullish positions are being bloodied; this is the story of January 19.

Looking at these numbers is like examining ancient ruins... The traces of high leverage pile up so quickly and collapse just as fast. Over 230,000 liquidation records, in a way, are also archaeological evidence on the chain.

Oh my goodness, this wave of cutting leeks is really ruthless. 230,000 people liquidated at once. I really don’t dare to trade futures anymore. --- $551 million lost in one hour. The bulls have truly been taught a lesson. --- That Hyperliquid order of 15.52 million, I don’t know which senior brother is so fierce... --- All the longs are dead, the shorts are still alive. This market is really brutal. --- Every time I see this kind of data, I feel lucky I didn’t leverage. Being tough is the most important. --- $660 million just disappeared. This wave was really exciting, but I can only watch. --- It’s another season of leek harvesting. Everyone, take care of yourselves. --- Longs liquidated at $533 million, but shorts only liquidated at $17 million? With this gap, I’m laughing.
