⚠️ WHY DO SOME TRADERS LOSE EVERYTHING WHEN BITCOIN DROPS 5%?
There’s something many beginners don’t understand about the crypto market: leverage can turn a relatively small drop into a huge loss.
Imagine a trade:
A trader uses US$100 with 10x leverage.
Their exposure is US$1,000.
If the price moves 5% against them, the theoretical loss would be US$50 of their initial capital, before commissions and other adjustments.
With a larger move, it could approach liquidation.
What happens when many traders are leveraged?
1. Positions begin to close automatically.
2. Additional selling is triggered.
3. Volatility increases.
4. Other participants may panic.
🐂 A market that eliminates excessively leveraged positions may later find conditions for stabilization.
🐻 But liquidations don't mean the drop is over.
My advice: learn to manage risk before trying to multiply your gains.
