A 30% rip in five days just met its first real flush.
$547M in crypto positions were liquidated as BTC pulled back to ~$77K on Aug 22 — $475M of it leveraged longs, hit right after the most overbought reading since Nov 2024 (Crowdfund Insider, Hokanews).
But this looks like a leverage reset, not a demand exit: spot BTC and ETH ETFs still pulled ~$800M in a single day (CoinDesk, Aug 20). Overheated longs got cleared while institutions kept buying the funds.
Flushes like this reset funding and thin out the crowded side. $BTC is defending the ~$77K shelf traders keep watching; $ETH's steady ETF bid is the tell for whether the bounce has legs.
Leverage flush, or the start of a deeper cool-off — which side are you on?
