Markets just had a violent reaction. $BTC fell under $80k, $ETH broke below $2,300. $130M in long positions got wiped in 30 minutes.
Timing matters here — this dump happened right after news broke that the top US military commander briefed Trump on Iran strike options. Classic risk-off move when geopolitical tension spikes.
Watching two things now:
1. Whether this is just a liquidity flush or the start of deeper repricing
2. How quickly macro risk appetite returns if tensions don't escalate further
Leverage got punished hard. These sharp moves usually shake out weak hands before any real directional clarity.
