#美国非农就业数据未达市场预期 The recent wave of liquidations can reveal a lot.

In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the entire network reached $62.77 million. But behind this figure lies a detail — longs were wiped out much more aggressively than shorts.

Longs liquidated at $39.07 million compared to $23.70 million for shorts, a clear gap. This isn't a one-sided sell-off; rather, it resembles a pattern of repeated shakeouts and volatility at high levels to harvest traders' psychology. Many people preemptively set up long positions, expecting a surge, only to be repeatedly shaken out; shorts are also suffering, with stop-losses triggered during rebounds.

Looking at the performance of mainstream coins makes it even more interesting —

Total liquidation for BTC longs and shorts combined is less than $3 million, and ETH is only around $2.7 million. Compared to the total liquidation volume, mainstream coins are actually quite restrained. Who is truly being harvested? High-leverage small coins and aggressive contract traders.

The most exaggerated case is the FARTCOIN trading pair on some chain, with a single liquidation reaching $1.46 million. Such a large order.

What does this reveal? It’s not that the market itself is extremely fierce, but that leverage has been pushed to the limit.

Nearly 60,000 people were liquidated within 24 hours. Breaking it down, the essence is —

Unclear direction
Limited volatility
Leverage fully utilized

What should be done in this situation? Not going all-in, not chasing highs and lows, but observing calmly, waiting for one side’s sentiment to be thoroughly cleansed, and only then will the market give a clear direction.

FARTCOIN-9%

SOL-0,97%

It's the same story again: high-leverage small coins get wrecked the worst. Don't be fooled by the intimidating total numbers; it's actually greedily playing with fire.

It's the same old wash trading tactic again, with the bulls being slaughtered ruthlessly. It feels like the big players are deliberately creating chaos to harvest the retail investors. Look at this data. Mainstream coins like BTC and ETH are almost unharmed. The ones truly getting slaughtered are those playing with small coins and high leverage. Did FARTCOIN's order of 1.46 million get wiped out? How outrageous does the leverage have to be to pull that off? Leverage is everywhere, the direction is unclear, and volatility is limited—that's the most dangerous situation. Let's stay on the sidelines and wait for the dust to settle.

It's the same old trick again. Leverage-hungry traders really dare to play, even with a 1,460,000 liquidation... --- The bulls are being beaten so badly, it seems the market maker is in a bad mood today. --- The direction is so unclear, yet they keep going all-in. No wonder they get harvested. --- With a name like FARTCOIN, you should know what's going to happen... --- Wait until the emotions are fully cleared before taking action. It's easy to say, but who can resist? --- BTC being so restrained makes it even more unsettling, feels like it's gathering strength. --- This is what we call an IQ tax—chasing after small coins with high leverage. --- 60,000 liquidations, just thinking about it makes me feel bad for them.

It's the same story again: high-leverage small coin players get wiped out, while mainstream coins remain as steady as an old dog. This is what you call professional harvesting.

I've said it before, this kind of market is just a washout of sentiment. Going all-in when you can't see the clear direction is really asking for trouble. Mainstream coins are so restrained, yet it's the small retail traders with high leverage who are fighting each other. To be honest, institutions are just harvesting the contract traders who don't know their limits. My advice is simple: first, don't chase highs; second, don't add leverage; third, wait until the emotions are completely cleared before taking action. This current point in time is actually the strategic high ground for deployment, but the prerequisite is that you must have patience. Many people are extremely anxious, but this is actually an inevitable process before the overall trend changes. Those who understand, understand.

Once again, the same old washout tricks, the bulls are truly being pressed to the ground and rubbed. --- High leverage small-cap coins are spinning up the harvesting machine, 60,000 people sacrificed, hilarious. --- Vague direction, limited volatility, yet leverage is everywhere—this sentence is perfect, it exactly describes my state yesterday. --- FARTCOIN single transaction of 1.46 million exploded directly; this is true artistic performance. --- Waiting for the sentiment to clear before entering the market—easy to say, hard to do, everyone. --- It's really strange how restrained mainstream coins are; it feels like all the water is in small coins. --- Even with bad non-farm payroll data, the market is still so fierce—looks like they've found a new reason to harvest.
