💰 Return: -357.38%, while BTC fell just 3.62%

Someone posted their account details: BTC average entry price 78596.80, current price 75748.79, unrealized loss of 194.94U, and a return of -357.38%. The asset fell just 3.62%, yet the margin loss was 3.5 times the principal. That’s the arithmetic of 100x leverage: a 1% price move means a 100% move in the account.

The liquidation price is 68716.40, 9.29% below the current price. Yesterday’s low already touched 75571.08—a single daily candle ate up most of the buffer.

Meanwhile, another trader made 8,459 high-frequency dollar-cost-averaging buys at an average price of 80804. Their unrealized loss is 6.2%, just 346 yuan. In the same downturn, one bet on direction got magnified, while the other’s cost basis was gradually smoothed out.

Looking at the market, 74800 is the last line of defense in the short term, while 82000 above is a major resistance zone where many holders are underwater. After nonfarm payrolls exceeded expectations, bets on a December rate hike topped 80%. Don’t mistake a rebound without fresh inflows for a reversal.

Bottom line: If 74800 holds, there’s a window for a rebound. If it breaks, don’t try to catch the falling knife.
