Crypto liquidations drive historic market turbulence 

Massive liquidations trigger crypto market chaos—billions vanish in hours as leveraged positions collapse.

The Domino Effect

When Bitcoin broke below key support levels, the cascade began. Margin calls hit like wrecking balls, forcing traders to dump assets at any price. Altcoins bled worse than blue chips—typical pattern when fear takes over.

Liquidation Carnage

Over $2 billion in long positions got wiped across major exchanges. Binance saw the bloodiest action, with ETH and SOL traders taking the hardest hits. The liquidation heat map looked like a crime scene.

Market Psychology Breakdown

Fear and greed? All fear now. The greed index plunged from extreme greed to pure panic in 48 hours. Retail investors learned the oldest lesson again—leverage works both ways, until it doesn't.

Silver Linings or Fool's Gold?

Some whales are accumulating during the fire sale. History says these dips create generational buying opportunities. But timing the bottom? That's where fortunes get destroyed.

Meanwhile, traditional finance guys are sipping champagne—nothing makes them happier than watching crypto 'gamblers' get their comeuppance. Until they quietly start buying the dip themselves, of course.
