Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】The market conditions on January 22nd were quite dangerous. According to the latest data, the total liquidations in the global trading markets over the past 24 hours reached $603 million, with long positions liquidated at $304 million and short positions at $299 million, showing a nearly balanced situation between longs and shorts.

What is even more shocking is that during this period, a total of 140,060 traders worldwide were forcibly liquidated in this round of volatility. The most severe single liquidation event occurred on the Hyperliquid platform’s ETH-USD trading pair, where a single order directly wiped out $40.2261 million.

This figure reflects how volatile the crypto market can be—one careless move and leveraged traders face the risk of liquidation. Whether going long or short, caution is essential.

140,000 people liquidated, hearing that makes my scalp tingle... Playing with leverage really is a knife's mouth but tofu heart. Over 40 million dollars lost in one go? That takes a huge heart. Holy shit, $600 million just disappeared within 24 hours? The crypto world is just a casino. Bull and bear balance, what nonsense—it's just everyone getting harvested together. Looking at this data, I’m glad I don’t play with leverage; my sleep quality has improved. Hyperliquid has爆雷 again this time, this platform is really intense. One careless move and you get liquidated; I feel like reducing trading frequency is more stable.

Leverage traders are crashing again, 140,000 people sacrificed—truly incredible --- 600 million just gone, the crypto world is putting on a show every day --- Over 40 million in one transaction? I was still thinking about how to make 100 bucks --- What does it mean when both bulls and bears are getting liquidated? It just means the market is cutting the leeks --- That's why I only hold spot assets; leverage is really gambling --- Hyperliquid's recent cut was brutal, the platform is awesome --- Another day has passed, and someone has gone bankrupt—just another routine day --- 140,000 traders 🤣, who asked them to play with contracts --- Stablecoins are the best, I stay far away from this kind of volatility --- With such fierce capital flow, no wonder I was liquidated yesterday --- Feels like the crypto world is just an amusement park where institutions plunder retail investors --- Long and short balance liquidation? It shows both sides are being played --- This data release is probably just to scare people

This wave is really fierce, Hyperliquid's over 40 million directly took out a guy --- 600 million dollars gone in an instant, leverage really is playing with fire --- Both bulls and bears are dying, the market is just so fair --- That Hyperliquid order was truly incredible, 40 million disappeared in a flash --- Every time I see this kind of data, I think of my painful past... Still need to control my hands --- 140,060 leeks, this is the daily life of crypto, right? --- 24 hours of 600 million explosion, this market trend is really not for the faint-hearted --- Watching others get liquidated, I silently turn off my leverage --- Another blood-red 24 hours, no one can escape

Others are fearful while I am greedy. This correction is a perfect opportunity to position oneself. I've long predicted this wipeout; those who understand the market are already bottom fishing. What does this data indicate? It shows that market liquidity is insufficient, and large funds are building positions. It's not too late to enter now; it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity first. Liquidations are mainly from leveraged traders. I have always advised staying away from high leverage; this is the most taboo step in the wealth code. 140,000 people being liquidated? It's just normal market volatility. In the face of the overall trend, these are minor waves. The key is how you view the market in the next three months. What does it matter if over 40 million USD was wiped out? It simply indicates that opportunities are here. Others' liquidations are our moments to build positions. People still struggling with short-term fluctuations will never become winners. Broaden your perspective and look at the long term; this cycle has just begun.

60 million liquidation? I looked at the K-line chart, and this is obviously a head and shoulders pattern, a warning sign. 140,000 people cleared? It indicates that the market sentiment indicator has already become extremely distorted... I wasn't this aggressive when I was bottom fishing. Over 40 million wiped out in a single trade, how many times leverage is that? It makes me cringe just looking at it. There are indeed technical issues; MACD hasn't formed a golden cross. I'll set my stop-loss first. Getting trapped again, based on this cycle, it still looks like it will fall... Bullish balance versus bearish? Uh, I think that's an illusion; there will definitely be a wave later. 14,000 people cleared out, feels like it's my turn next... a bit anxious. Dangerous as it is, I still want to buy the dip. Who asked the historical high points to be so tempting?

600 million liquidation, 140,000 people liquidated, Hyperliquid's single trade of over 40 million was directly wiped out. This round is really brutal. Leverage traders should wake up; the market isn't that easy to profit from. It's another day of balance liquidation, both longs and shorts are losing money. 14,0060 people sharing hardships together—this number looks a bit hopeless. Not using leverage can really help you live longer. 40.22 million just disappeared like that, and I'm still debating over a 50-dollar gas fee. Every time I see liquidation data, I feel my account trembling. This is why I stick to spot trading; even if I earn more slowly, I stay alive.
