ANOTHER WAVE OF LIQUIDATIONS SWEEPS THE MARKET – $210M WIPED OUT IN 24H

Within just one day, 85,743 traders got liquidated across the board. The total damage: $210.64 million in losses.

Why this matters: The continuous stream of liquidations tells us leverage is still being aggressively flushed out of the system. When you see this kind of liquidation volume, it typically signals that overleveraged positions are being forced to unwind—whether through market moves or cascading forced closures. This steady pressure suggests the market is still in a cleansing phase, burning off excess positioning before potential stabilization.

Leverage traders are about to get liquidated again; this round of liquidation doesn't seem to be over yet.

The leverage traders just went through another round of collective liquidations. Seriously, the market should feel more comfortable after this wave of liquidations, right?

Haha, alright. Another round of cleanup. This time, much more satisfying.
