🚨OVER $2.5 BILLION LIQUIDATED IN 12 HOURS — ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT CRYPTO FLUSHES EVER📉
The crypto market just witnessed an extreme leverage wipeout, with $2.5B+ in liquidations over the last 12 hours, making this event comparable to — and in some metrics larger than — the COVID crash and the FTX collapse.
⸻
🔥 What Actually Happened
• A rapid breakdown of key Bitcoin support levels triggered clustered stop-losses and forced liquidations.
• The majority of liquidations came from overleveraged long positions, meaning traders were positioned too aggressively on the upside.
• Once liquidation engines kicked in, market sells fed on themselves, creating a domino effect across BTC, ETH, and high-beta altcoins.
⸻
📊 Why This Move Was So Extreme
• Leverage was historically high going into the drop.
• Liquidity was thin, allowing large orders to push price quickly.
• Algorithms and market makers hunt liquidity zones, accelerating the downside once price enters those areas.
This is why the move felt instant and brutal.
⸻
🧠 COVID & FTX Comparison
• COVID 2020: Panic-driven, macro shock, ~$1–1.2B liquidations.
• FTX 2022: Structural collapse, trust crisis, ~$1.5–1.6B peak liquidations.
• Now: No single black-swan headline — just pure leverage + liquidity exploitation, resulting in multi-billion dollar forced closures in hours.
That’s what makes this event unique.
⸻
🧨 “Manipulation” — What Traders Mean by It
This wasn’t random selling.
• Price was pushed into known liquidity pools
• Stops were intentionally or mechanically targeted
• Forced liquidations did the rest
It’s less about one villain and more about market structure being weaponized against crowded positions.
