💥 The Truth About Liquidations: They Don’t Boost Price — They Boost Exchanges

People keep saying “when longs get liquidated, it’s good for the market.”

But that’s not how centralized exchanges work.

A long liquidation isn’t bullish — it’s forced selling, and forced selling pushes price down, not up.

And here’s the real twist:

The value that should’ve strengthened the market doesn’t go back into the chart… it goes straight to the exchange.

Exchanges profit from:

Liquidation fees

Funding cycles

Spreads during volatility

Their insurance fund swelling from trader losses

So instead of HODLers getting a cleaner, stronger price base, exchanges walk away with the gains while the market absorbs the damage.

Liquidations don’t “help the price.”

They help the platform.

The reset isn’t for the market — it’s for your account balance.
