The crypto market just got absolutely wrecked.
Bitcoin plunged toward the $71,000 zone, and in the process triggered over $700 MILLION in forced liquidations in a single session โ not over daysโฆ over hours.
This wasnโt random selling.
This was leverage getting erased.
๐ WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
As BTC slipped lower, leveraged positions began to collapse one after another โ creating a domino effect across the entire market.
๐ The damage in numbers: โข ๐ฅ $700M+ liquidations in 24 hours
โข ๐ฉธ $468B+ wiped from total crypto market cap in under a week
โข โฌ BTC tagged multi-month lows near $72,884 before finding temporary balance
This wasnโt โweak handsโ selling.
This was exchanges pulling the plug on over-leveraged traders.
๐ WHY LIQUIDATIONS GO PARABOLIC
Leverage is a double-edged sword โ and today it cut deep.
When price drops: โก๏ธ Longs get liquidated
โก๏ธ Forced market sells hit the book
โก๏ธ Liquidity vanishes
โก๏ธ Price drops more
โก๏ธ More liquidations trigger
A self-feeding liquidation loop.
Throw in: โข Auto-deleverage systems
โข Thin order books
โข High funding imbalances
โฆand suddenly hundreds of millions vanish in minutes.
๐ง REAL TALK FOR TRADERS
Big liquidations do NOT mean the market is dead.
They mean: โ Risk was mispriced
โ Leverage was abused
โ Volatility was ignored
Markets stabilize only when: โ
Fear cools off
โ
Funding rates normalize
โ
Liquidity returns
โ
Positioning resets
Until then โ every spike and dip can trigger another wave of forced selling.
๐ฅ THE SIMPLE TRUTH
โข BTC drops โ leverage breaks
โข Leverage breaks โ forced selling
โข Forced selling โ panic spreads
โข Panic spreads โ price overshoots
Meanwhileโฆ ๐ง Smart money waits ๐งฒ Liquidity hunters stalk extremes ๐ Opportunities form where pain peaks
This is not a market funeral.
This is a market detox.
๐ BOTTOM LINE
๐ฃ $700M+ liquidated is brutal โ but necessary.
Volatility is the entry fee for trading leverage in crypto.
When markets move like this: โก๏ธ You either lose fast
โก๏ธ Or learn fast
Choose wisely.
