The recent day has seen significant volatility in the futures market. According to industry data, the total liquidation amount across the entire network in the past 24 hours reached $408 million, with short positions clearly dominating at $319 million, while long position liquidations were relatively smaller at approximately $89.31 million.

Looking at mainstream cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin shows a clear profit-taking trend for bears — long positions were liquidated for $21.96 million, while short positions were liquidated for as much as $90.03 million. Ethereum's situation is similar, with $105 million in short position liquidations, far exceeding the $17.7 million in long position liquidations.

In this round of market activity, over 120,000 traders' positions were liquidated worldwide. The largest single liquidation occurred on a major derivatives exchange's ETH contract, with a liquidation size of up to $18.75 million. Such large liquidations typically indicate that big players are bearing significant losses at this price point and also reflect liquidity fluctuations at key market levels.

The bears are celebrating again, another wave of chopping the leeks market Huh, a $18.75 million explosion in one transaction? How big of a whale is that? Another 120,000 people cleared out? Oh my, these numbers keep breaking records every time Bitcoin bulls are really being pressed to the ground and rubbed this time Futures trading is just gambling, that's what I mean

The bears are so arrogant, and the bulls have been slaughtered again A single explosion of $18.75 million, what kind of big player has such a big heart to dare to play like this The bears are making a killing betting against, and our bulls are getting beaten at the bottom again So many people are being liquidated, I just want to ask if anyone is holding on to the bottom

Shorts are making a killing, and it's another day of longs being slaughtered. --- 18.75 million USD in a single explosion🤦, this guy probably lost everything. --- 120,000 people liquidated, this is the real truth of the contract. --- Again, shorts profit, when will the longs turn around? --- That's how the crypto world is. Today you get liquidated, tomorrow it's my turn. It's a bit exhausting. --- Looking at these stats, shorts are laughing crazily, longs are directly eliminated. --- The big player lost 18.75 million, feeling a bit terrifying.

Shorts are eating, longs are drinking soup, this is today’s market situation. --- Another day of big players getting liquidated, losing 18.75 million dollars, tsk tsk. --- Are 120,000 people being liquidated? Really? That must be a lot of retail investors. --- Seeing short positions get wiped out makes me crazy, going long and ending up in the hospital is quite the story. --- Why are the shorts so aggressive in this Bitcoin move? Why didn't I follow along? --- Ethereum short liquidation exceeds 100 million? Damn, these numbers seem a bit off. --- 4 billion liquidated in one day, the crypto world really is a meat grinder. --- Longs are probably losing their minds right now, this move is brutal. --- Contract markets are like this: profitable when it’s good, even more profitable when it’s bad. --- I saw the big liquidation of 18.75 million, really bought in the wrong direction.

Shorts wipe out longs, this is the current market situation. 120,000 people were liquidated, some are making a fortune while others got wiped out. --- A single liquidation of $18.75 million, that big trader must be feeling terrible. --- It's another day for the shorts to win, this round the longs are really unlucky. --- Looking at these data, longs are completely beaten down, shorts are laughing quite fiercely. --- 120,000 people liquidated at once? The market is definitely harvesting. --- Bitcoin shorts are making a killing, longs are lying flat and getting beaten up. --- That single liquidation of $18.75 million, I dare say it’s the despair moment of a leverage king. --- The shorts are so dominant, what are the longs still fighting for?
