Recent market volatility has been intense. Over the past day, the total liquidation amount across the entire network reached $253 million, with nearly 100,000 traders facing liquidations.

The data is quite interesting: short positions were liquidated for $74.418 million, while long positions were liquidated for $9.051 million. At first glance, it seems the bears took a big hit, but within 4 hours, long positions were liquidated again for $4.153 million, which is nine times the amount of short liquidations during the same period. What does this indicate? Bulls paid a price during the rebound.

The largest single liquidation on ETH reached $3.2757 million — even mainstream coins are experiencing intense fluctuations. This isn't just normal sideways movement; it's a battle for price control between two sides.

The key point is that in this market environment, setting stop-losses and managing risk exposure are more critical than predicting the direction. Whether bullish or bearish, positions without proper risk management are essentially gambling. By examining these data points carefully, you can see where the market is testing support and resistance levels.

2.53 billion in liquidations, oh my, is this the Rake Cutting Conference? --- Both bulls and bears are bleeding out, those without stop-loss are truly pure gamblers. --- A single liquidation of 3.27 million ETH, none of the mainstream coins have a chance now. --- Risk control is a hundred times more important than guessing the right direction, but who really does it? Haha. --- Same period, long positions liquidated 9 times? This data shows the market is疯狂ly testing. --- When both sides are fighting for pricing power, retail investors can only be cannon fodder. --- Again, no stop-loss and heavy positions, no wonder ten thousand people disappeared in a day. --- It feels like the market is deliberately cleaning out chips, really crazy volatility. --- Both longs and shorts are crashing, this is the true picture of crypto. --- Careful analysis of these liquidation data can teach you a lot, actually.

It's another day of slaughter, with 100,000 people buried alongside. No one can really make money in this market wave.

Oh my, another wave of liquidations. This one is really intense. Not using leverage is truly the winning mindset. Both bears and bulls are getting wrecked; it all depends on who reacts faster. Setting stop-losses properly is the key; don't be greedy. This data looks so painful—100,000 people liquidated? That's outrageous.

It's that time again for the leek harvest season Those without stop-losses deserve to get wiped out Both sides are slaughtering each other, and the winner is the exchange 3.27 million liquidation orders? My goodness, what kind of leverage is that? Actually, no one knows where the bottom is; everyone is just guessing Risk control is easy to talk about, but when it comes to critical moments, no one is willing to cut losses This data looks like a certain whale is testing the bottom

It's starting to cut the leeks again; this time it seems no one can escape.
