One trader just lost $15.6M in minutes — 201 BTC wiped out in 8 forced sales. That is what a liquidation cascade really looks like. 📚
$BTC $76,184, down 5.3% in 24h
24h liquidations: ~$1.08B — 88% of it longs
~210,000 traders liquidated in a day
BTC 24h low: $75,208 — the $75K level is being watched
Leverage means borrowing money to make a bigger bet, so a small price move hurts much more. When the price falls far enough, the exchange closes your position automatically — it sells your coins for you.
Now imagine thousands of traders getting sold at the same time. All that forced selling pushes the price down further, which closes even more positions. That is a liquidation cascade, and it turns a 5% dip into a rout.
$ETH longs took about $174M of the wipeout, and the single biggest hit was a $10.9M ETH long on Binance.
The market did not fall 5% only because of bad news. Leverage made it worse.
