🚨 OVER $815M LIQUIDATED: A RECOVERY OPPORTUNITY OR A WARNING SIGN?

The crypto market has just experienced a major liquidation event. More than 118,000 traders were reportedly affected over 24 hours, most of them holding long positions.

BTC briefly fell below $80K, while ETH traded around $2,350.

What stands out?

📉 Leverage is being flushed out. As prices fall and hit liquidation levels, forced closures of long positions can add further selling pressure.

🐻 Derivatives sentiment remains cautious. Data reported on Hyperliquid shows that tracked whale accounts held 53.44% of their positions short.

₿ BTC needs to hold the $80K range. If buyers absorb the selling and prices stabilize, the market could see a recovery. If support breaks, another wave of liquidations could follow.

The key point isn’t just how much has been liquidated, but how the market reacts afterward.

Heavy liquidations can help the market shed excess leverage, but they don’t guarantee that prices have bottomed. Watch for spot buying pressure, changes in open interest, and whether key support levels hold.

Do you think the market is flushing out leverage ahead of a recovery, or is this just the start of a deeper decline?
