Over $243 million in positions got liquidated across crypto markets in a single day—114,979 traders caught in the wave. The biggest hit? A $2.90M BTC-USD order on Hyperliquid, one of the major derivatives platforms. When liquidations spike this hard and this wide, it's not random noise. These numbers point to serious market stress: overleveraged positions, sudden price moves, and traders getting stopped out simultaneously. The scale here matters. Five-figure liquidation counts and nine-figure totals don't happen without real volatility grinding through the market.

Here we go again, this time with a 243 million cleanup. Leverage traders really should learn their lesson this time.

Again, another liquidation, this time over 200 million directly gone, truly incredible. --- That order of 2.9 million on hyperliquid dares to play, leverage maniacs deserve it. --- Over 110,000 people cleared within a day, how greedy must they be... --- Every time there's a big fluctuation, those with heavy positions suffer losses, a painful lesson. --- Damn, it's back again. When will this market finally settle down? --- 114,979 dreams shattered, feels like the next one will be mine. --- This wave was indeed fierce, looks like I need to wait before entering the market again.
