$356 million gone in 24 hours. And most of it was longs.
After the Fed's hold, traders piled into long positions — then Alphabet missed earnings, Samsung shares slid, and the market turned. $BTC slid from above $81,700 to near $79,800, dipping under $80,000 in the Asian session. $ETH slipped to near $2,320.
The liquidations tell the story: $356 million in futures wiped out, $205 million of it longs betting prices would rise.
Lesson: leverage turns a normal pullback into a wipeout. The market doesn't reward the loudest bet — it rewards the patient one.
Did you stay out of leverage this week, or did the flush catch you?
