Flash crash recap: $BTC dropped from ~$79.5k to ~$76.5k in six minutes today. $ETH -5%, SOL -11%, XRP -37%. ~$500M in longs liquidated in the first hour, 24h total liquidations above $1.7B.
Key detail: two days earlier, an 8% BTC rally liquidated $3.5B, mostly shorts. That squeeze rebuilt long positioning right into resistance near $79k. This crash looks like that fresh leverage getting cleared out, not fresh institutional selling, since spot ETFs still showed net inflows the day before.
Levels we're watching: $76-77k as immediate support, deeper liquidity sitting toward $70-71k if that breaks.
Takeaway for traders: crowded positioning at range highs is a recurring setup, not a one off. Knowing where liquidations cluster matters more than reacting to the drop itself.
