Recent 24-hour liquidation data reveals a lot. The total liquidation amount in the BTC futures market surged to $18.592 million, with short traders suffering more—short positions liquidated at $12.368 million, while longs only at $6.224 million. What does this indicate? Short sellers are getting cut more harshly.

Even more shocking is the short-term data. The 1-hour chart shows $5.794 million in liquidations, doubling to $9.186 million in the 4-hour cycle, clearly reflecting how volatile the market has been. A total of 73,963 traders worldwide have been forced out, and a major exchange even experienced a single liquidation order of $3.0281 million worth of ETH.

Honestly, this is the true picture of leveraged trading. The current crypto market is extremely risky, especially with high leverage strategies. If you are still trading futures, be sure to strictly control your positions and execute stop-losses rigorously, or you might be the next one to get liquidated.

Short positions got crushed again, this wave of shorting is really brutal... Just the $12.36 million is gone. Another liquidation order of $3.0281 million, this market is just a meat grinder. High leverage players should wake up now, over 70,000 people directly out... Contracts are really not for humans to play with, even tenfold leverage should be reflected upon. The bears are cut into minced meat, and the bulls are not doing well either, it's just a casino. I just want to ask where are the people using 20x leverage now, come out and speak. Once this data is out, I advise everyone not to touch high leverage, really. Wow, doubling and liquidating within 1 to 4 hours, this volatility is incredible. Yesterday I saw someone going all-in on contracts again, now probably crying with regret. Rather than just a risk warning, this is more like a bloodletting mechanism.
