◆ Midday Risk Monitor · Oct 01
Hello. Welcome to the Wall Street High Wealth Invest Channel.
Good afternoon.
【Key Takeaway】
In the past 24 hours, risk has mainly been driven by short squeezes rather than a full liquidation/clean-out. The Fear & Greed Index is 74, still in the Greed zone—sentiment is hot. Our stance: don’t chase; wait for Consolidation to offer a better entry.
【Risk Dashboard】
· Fear & Greed Index: 74 (Greed)
· 24h Liquidation: $55.55M｜Long $21.36M｜Short $34.18M
· Peak time: 09-30 20:00, BTCUSDT Short was liquidated for $14.13M
· Open Interest: BTC $8.02B｜ETH $6.22B
【Liquidation Categorization】
· Rumor: Gate mistakenly distributed dividends to the BEN perpetual contract side, causing shorts to be wiped out by a thousand-fold liquidation
Our categorization: this looks like a bearish shakeout. In the last 24 hours, total liquidations were $21.36M on longs and $34.18M on shorts—shorts were hit harder. The most concentrated one-hour window occurred at 09-30 20:00 for BTCUSDT, where short liquidations were $14.13M and long liquidations were only $0.2M, indicating leverage was crowded on the short side; a one-way washout is not surprising. The “Gate mis-distribution” causing a thousand-fold liquidation of BEN shorts is a platform incident—only an emotional sample, not a directional signal. The liquidation data shows leverage crowding, not direction.
【On-chain & Meme】
· Renzo Finance launched a new category, Renzo Basis, emphasizing that risk is 100% verifiable on-chain
· Renzo responded to MetaMask security incidents: Basis risk and liquidity can be fully verified on-chain; currently only 214.75 stETH are in the withdrawal queue
· A certain address “bought the dip” at 4.028M USD worth of ETH in the early morning; currently unrealized loss is 33k USD
Our categorization: Renzo’s launch of Basis and its emphasis that risk is 100% verifiable on-chain, along with its response to the MetaMask security incident—stating the withdrawal queue contains only 214.75 stETH, meaning the scale is limited—belongs to product narrative rather than a liquidity event. A certain address “bought the dip” with $4.028M worth of ETH early in the morning; the current Unrealized PnL is a floating loss of $33k. This is a sample of retail funds picking up during the pullback, with chips shifting from short-term capital toward addresses with a longer holding horizon. The value of memes and narrative-driven assets is to reflect the “temperature” of sentiment—not to represent a configuration/opportunity.
【Macro Linkage】
The linkage between macro and crypto is clear. The 10-Year Treasury Yield rose to 5.293%, +3.8 bps on the day, and the DXY hit a two-month high of 101.62. Japan’s BOJ meeting minutes confirmed that the policy focus is to prevent inflation from exceeding the target. This is a hawkish combination—raising the valuation denominator for risk assets. BTC is at 83,844, up +0.26% over 24 hours. Against the backdrop of yields and the US dollar strengthening at the same time, it can hold up, suggesting sell pressure is limited; however, upward movement also lacks macro support. Our expectations for a Rate Cut and QE remain disappointed—the rally built by “pumping liquidity” will eventually have to be paid back.
【Positioning Advice】
For new entries, maintain low leverage; keep per-trade risk exposure to no more than 1% of the portfolio. Prefer using Limit Orders rather than chasing with market orders. For existing positions in the Greed zone (Fear & Greed Index at 74), avoid adding. You may consider setting take-profit (TP) on the portion that has larger gains, and raising the Stop Loss to above your cost basis.
