Regarding the recent market trend of Bitcoin, there is an interesting phenomenon worth deeper reflection. A well-known financial media outlet recently issued an annual decline warning, but this time from a different perspective—they emphasized that this is the "first annual adjustment occurring without major bans or obvious black swan events triggering it." To be honest, this statement seems objective on the surface, but it actually highlights the severity of the problem.



Looking back at the market on October 11, the market experienced a fierce volatility. Many reports underestimated the seriousness at that time—the official data indicated a liquidation scale of over a billion dollars, but the actual situation was far more alarming. The total liquidation scale that day approached $20 billion, Bitcoin dropped over 15% within just 20 minutes, and many altcoins suffered devastating losses, with some assets falling more than 80% within 5 minutes, and some even approaching zero at one point.

This is not a sudden scam event, but an inevitable result of "over-leverage stacking and macro resonance" in the crypto market. To understand the essence of this adjustment, two core mechanisms need to be considered.

First is the structural problem behind the liquidation chain. I spoke with several market makers that day, and their description was that "the system entered a paralysis mode." The fundamental cause lies in the dual effects of the automatic deleveraging (ADL) mechanism and liquidity exhaustion. Simply put, the leveraged positions accumulated in the market have reached an extremely unbalanced level—

Damn, 20 billion liquidation? This is the real bloodbath. That day, my friend got liquidated directly, haha. Leverage traders are doomed; it's about time for a purge like this. It's the ADL mechanism's fault again. Every plunge is caused by this thing causing trouble. Talking about "no bans, no black swans," that's just your media's lack of imagination. Liquidity exhaustion is the original sin of the entire market. I've said this long ago. A 15% drop in 20 minutes—many people probably left the crypto space forever that day. An 80% decline—how much leverage does it take to play like that? Truly incredible. It's really just greed causing the trouble. Who told you to go all in? The scene that day was even scarier than a scam; at least scammers give you some hope.

Leverage players are at it again, claiming 20 billion in liquidations as just a few billion, truly outrageous

$20 billion liquidation? Now that's real data. The official figures can't fool anyone. Altcoins dropped 80% in 5 minutes. Luckily, I didn't go all-in on a certain coin, or I'd be eating dirt now. Over-leverage is truly a suicidal strategy. Why does someone always follow suit every time? When liquidity dries up, the system really stalls. Have you seen it happen? A 15% crash in 20 minutes—that's a real market cleanse, more brutal than any ban.

20 billion liquidation, a 15% drop in 20 minutes. Is this what you call a "black swan"? Laughable, the media's brain really works. Leverage accumulated to this extent should have exploded long ago. Who's to blame? The ADL mechanism is probably poorly designed, as liquidity dries up, it triggers a chain reaction. Altcoins dropped 80% in 5 minutes. I think this truly exposed the market's fragility. "No major bans," huh? That's called self-liquidation, more ruthless than a ban. Those with high leverage should have been liquidated long ago. The market needs to be cleaned up.

The 20 billion liquidation figure is truly shocking; the media reports are just misleading people. --- It's again the over-leverage problem. When will retail investors learn their lesson? --- Once the ADL mechanism is triggered, the entire market is doomed; liquidity evaporates instantly. This design is really brilliant. --- The difference between a few billion and 20 billion is enough to wipe out a round of retail investors. --- A 15% drop in just 20 minutes—those with quick reactions made a fortune that day, while slow responders were wiped out. --- No bans, no black swan events, yet the market still crashes sharply, indicating the core issue lies within the market itself. --- Market makers say the system is paralyzed; just hearing that makes people hesitant to use leverage. --- Some coins drop 80% in 5 minutes? Is this still a market? It's pure gambling. --- Bitcoin drops 15%, altcoins 80%; the more leverage used, the faster the death. Simple and brutal. --- If you truly understand this correction, you'll be able to survive when the next market rally comes.
