【BlockBeats】The trading market has been a bit crazy lately. According to on-chain data, the total liquidation amount across the entire network in the past 24 hours reached $527 million, which is indeed a significant figure. Among them, short positions were hit the hardest, with $440 million liquidated; long positions also didn’t fare well, with $87.11 million liquidated.

Even more astonishing is that over 120,000 people (specifically 122,834) were forcibly liquidated and eliminated in just one day. Do you know the most brutal single order? It occurred on the BTC-USDT trading pair on the HTX exchange, with a single liquidation amount reaching $91.3344 million. That must have been a huge leveraged position.

Given this scale, market volatility in the short term is indeed intense. Traders should prioritize risk management and not be blinded by the market fluctuations.

Short positions were directly hammered out; this market trend is truly incredible. Over 120,000 people were eliminated in a single day. How can there still be people daring to go裸奔?

The short guys are once again held down tightly, over 400 million just gone like that. Being targeted by a barrage of attacks feels really bad; 120,000 people out together, this scene is comparable to 2021. A single liquidation of over $90 million? How much leverage are you guys using? Heart goes out for three seconds. Wake up, everyone. If you can't see clearly anymore, don't go messing around. Luckily, I had already reduced my position early. This market trend is too fierce, it feels like the season of harvesting leeks is back again.

Over 90 million liquidation in a single trade? How much can this guy gamble? The number of people eliminated has already exceeded 120,000. Oh my, how many people's dreams have been shattered.
