🚨 A Historic Day for Crypto Markets
Yesterday we witnessed one of the biggest liquidation events in crypto history.
$BTC dropped by over $20,000 in just a few hours, before recovering almost as fast.
Nearly 2 million traders were liquidated, totaling over $19 billion in losses.
For comparison:
🦠 Covid crash 2020 – $1.2B
💥 FTX collapse 2022 – $1.6B
⚡ Yesterday’s event – $19B (!)
That’s 20× more than during the corona crash.
🎯 Was it all planned?
I believe yes.
Data suggests that major exchanges (at least Binance) were involved, timing the attack right after US markets closed — when liquidity was thin.
Trump’s statement about introducing 100% tariffs on Chinese products triggered the initial panic, but Market Makers likely took advantage to wipe out leveraged traders and reset positions.
Some altcoins crashed 50–70%, and $ATOM even hit $0.01 before bouncing back.
During the sharpest drop, exchanges like Binance and Kraken froze access, conveniently preventing new entries.
🧭 My view
This looks like a massive shakeout and market reset, not necessarily the end of the cycle.
I’m holding my spot positions and will reassess after Monday.
All profits we took earlier prove how vital a disciplined strategy and gradual de-risking really are.
Have a calm weekend — the market just reminded us who’s in charge. 😉

True, I like Gold. Yet you can't deny Bitcoin has always made higher highs over time. The massive drops are the risk you take on if you want massive gains over the long term that outperform everything. But I realise that this is not guaranteed to continue. ... Show More
There's no logic in this comparison. This couldn't have happened if you held US bonds or kept your money in a bank either, so what. You do realize Bitcoin offers 10x larger gains every year, right? So how can you expect it to have the same risk? If you can't take thrills, buy gold. But don't... Show More
Naja.
Gold kennt 2022 und 1980.
Da ging es brutal runter.
Klar, alle sehen Gold bald auf 5k.
Es sieht auch alles danach aus.
Und eben das irritiert mich.
Jetzt geht es sogar schon schön langsam rauf, damit auch der letzte Opa sich notieren kann, wann der Kurs ungefähr wo ist.

What about $03333.HK (China Evergrande Group) lol.
You seem like an investor who made the worst investing decisions ever and decided to just buy Gold because you don't have the skills.
Which is fine, but wrongfully boasting about Gold only going up and $BTC going down is a bit rich mate. ... Show More
I always have a good laugh when they argue that bitcoin is a good protection against inflation. Bitcoin is just a way for crooks to get richer. ... Show More
