Most people woke up to red candles and a scary headline. Here's what actually happened, minus the noise.
Binance suspended deposits and withdrawals after a security incident. It says it will cover all losses and reports roughly $3B frozen so far. Loss estimates still range from about $3.3B to $5.8B, so treat every big number as unconfirmed until the post-mortem lands.
The market reacted fast. BTC slid from around $80K to a low near $77.7K. ETH dropped about 4% toward $2,250. BNB fell roughly 7–9% in 24 hours, near $695–$700. Over $600M got liquidated in about an hour, and that's what hurt traders most.
Levels I'm watching: - $80K: reclaim it and the panic trade looks done. - $77.7K: lose it on a close and the next leg down gets real.
My plan, not advice: if BTC reclaims $80K on calm volume, I respect the bounce. If $77.7K breaks, I'm not catching it with size.
Rule for tonight: leverage gets punished first on headline moves. Cut size before you cut sleep.
