#以太坊大户持仓变化 📉 Cryptocurrency Market Liquidation Depth Analysis (2/3)
Long and short double-sided squeeze: Why do retail investors always take the last hit?
🟢 Deadlock for Long Positions:
"Market is bullish, I leverage 90,000 to control 100,000 worth of assets"
Only 10% decline → Automatic liquidation by the system → Capital evaporates
Even if the price rebounds and doubles later, it’s no longer your turn
🔴 Dilemma for Short Positions:
"Market is bearish, I borrow coins to short, waiting for the bottom to cover"
Only 10% increase → Forced buyback to stop loss → Same result, a complete mess
🌀 Market Killer Scenarios:
Extreme volatility days: $BTC $ETH Daily fluctuation ±20% → 10x leverage overload
Sudden plunge: rapid drop → triggers liquidation → immediately rebounds (the bagholders are already out)
Midnight exhaustion: want to close position but no liquidity, only able to watch the liquidation happen
📊 Bloody Market Records:
• 2022 LUNA crash event: $10 billion positions liquidated in one day
• March 2023, a Tuesday: over 200,000 liquidation participants in a single day
• 10x leverage: volatility reaching 10% of principal = exit
• 100x leverage: even 1% fluctuation = complete elimination
💡 Things exchanges will never proactively talk about:
• Liquidation trigger prices are often more "perfectly timed" than theoretical calculations
• Daily interest compounded on high leverage can eat up 50% of your profits
• Positions marked as "market price execution" are often executed at the worst historical prices
🔐 Survivors understand one truth:
Leverage is not an amplifier, but a butcher knife; platforms are not your tools, but the designers of this game
