Christmas market shock: major crypto pair suffers massive liquidation cascade

On December 25th, one of the market's most-traded pairs experienced a dramatic intraday collapse, triggering a wave of long liquidations across leverage trading platforms. Entire positions wiped out in minutes.

The timing raises eyebrows—price action that sharp doesn't happen by accident. Whether this stems from coordinated whale activity, flash crashes, or order book manipulation remains unclear. But when moves like this hit during a holiday when liquidity dries up, retail traders get absolutely crushed.

It's the kind of market event that makes you wonder who's really pulling the strings here.

Still crashing the market on Christmas? These whales really leave no room for retail investors to survive --- Another high leverage liquidation scene, it's ridiculous --- Crashing the market when liquidity is poor, I know this tactic too well --- Wake up everyone, stop wondering who is manipulating the market, the answer is right in front of you --- Honestly, crashing the market during holidays is the most ruthless, retail investors can't react at all --- I just want to know how many people got liquidated in this wave, it must be tens of millions again --- Damn, getting your contract instantly liquidated doesn't feel good, haha --- Manipulation? Come on, this is already routine, nothing to be surprised about --- Who’s to blame for still watching the market on Christmas? You brought it on yourself

ngl, analyzed the order book pattern here and this screams textbook market manipulation during liquidity gaps. red flags all over—who crashes that hard on christmas? further investigation required on the exchange's matching engine logs, tbh. unsafe conditions for retail rn fr
