Perp traders are taking massive hits on their positions right now. The liquidation cascade is brutal—guys are getting wiped out left and right. When leverage and volatility collide like this, the damage can be catastrophic. Anyone watching the perp funding rates and open interest? The risk appetite is completely inverted. This is what happens when traders overextend on derivatives without proper risk management. The orders are stacking up, and the bleeding hasn't stopped yet.

Leverage liquidation incidents... Watching this broken record play every day, so boring --- It's the same old trick. No risk control, no wonder you're being wiped out --- Funding rate is crazy. Who would dare to go long now? --- The liquidation wave is coming. Everyone playing perp should be careful --- More than one has been wiped out, it feels like the entire market is bleeding --- Leverage is truly a double-edged sword. It’s exhilarating when making money, but... --- Look at the trading interest; there's obviously a problem --- Cascade has started, and it will get even worse later --- Why are some still going all-in with leverage? Are they out of their minds? --- Risk appetite has reversed. Basically, everyone is scared now

Oh no, another round of bloodshed. This time it's the perpetual contract guys suffering. Leverage dreams shattered, blood flowing like a river. This is the crypto world. Funding rates have reversed, yet open interest is still rising? Are you crazy? Those who didn't set proper stop-losses should reflect on themselves. They totally deserve it. Perpetual contracts are just a harvesting tool. I’d rather sit back and watch the market. The liquidation wave is coming again. Time to see some more retail investors get liquidated. This time, the funding rate is inverted. Shorts are really about to get wrecked. Is anyone still adding leverage? Not afraid of liquidation? The liquidation waterfall has started. All risk buffers are gone. Playing like this in the contract market will definitely lead to trouble sooner or later.

Oh no, it's those leverage traders getting liquidated again. Can't get tired of watching the show. Playing derivatives without doing homework, no wonder you're being liquidated. With such a high funding rate, why keep pushing in? What's your brain thinking? This round of losses probably made the list even longer. So tragic. Only the brave don't cut losses.

Oh no, here comes another wave of liquidations. This time, those trading derivatives really can't hold up. Leverage is a recipe for disaster. Why insist on fighting volatility? Just look at the funding rate, it's maxed out. Who can withstand that? Seriously, if you don't have risk management, don't touch perp. Now you know the cost. It's at a liquidation level. Luckily, I didn't add that much leverage...

Another wave of liquidations, leverage monsters should learn some lessons --- Have you checked the funding rate? This time it's really crazy --- Damn it, it's the same story... why are people still playing the liquidation game --- The futures market is truly a meat grinder, blood flowing everywhere --- Risk management? Nonexistent, all in or fold --- Liquidation cascade... sounds hopeless, how many people got caught in the crossfire --- The funding rate is so aggressively reversed, the bears are going to celebrate --- It’s always like this, a market wave reveals human nature, leverage paradox --- Don’t think about the risks before opening a position, regret only after liquidation, big fool --- Futures should be banned, really, they do more harm than good

Leverage liquidation can really bankrupt someone in just one second The liquidation waterfall is coming, and someone has to take the hit again... This is the consequence of not setting stop-losses, brother With such a high funding rate, who dares to go long? Are you trying to commit suicide? Watching others get liquidated, I feel lucky I didn't play futures Perpetual contracts are like the difference between a printing press and a meat grinder Another day, another batch of people being pushed out How many dreams are shattered in this wave? Leverage reset to zero, the story continues
