Bitcoin Plunges to 11-Day Low: $500M Liquidation Storm Rocks Crypto Markets

Blood in the streets as Bitcoin gets hammered—dropping to its lowest level in nearly two weeks. Nearly half a billion in leveraged positions just got vaporized in a cascade of liquidations. Traders scrambling, hodlers sweating, and the usual suspects are already calling it a 'buying opportunity.'

Liquidation carnage hits record pace

The market’s playing whack-a-mole with overleveraged positions—$500 million wiped out faster than a meme coin rug pull. Exchanges flashing red as stop losses trigger domino-style. Classic crypto: where 'hedging your risk' means praying the next candle’s green.

Wall Street sharks smell blood

Watch the derivatives desks pounce—nothing gets traditional finance hard like a good old-fashioned fire sale. Meanwhile, retail traders are left holding bags (again). Pro tip: when your broker’s ‘risk management team’ starts emailing, it’s already too late.

Volatility isn’t a bug—it’s crypto’s main feature. Buckle up.
