24-hour crypto market liquidation snapshot just dropped, and the numbers are substantial. Nearly a quarter million traders got wiped out in a single day—specifically 247,304 liquidations totaling $870.54 million in losses.

The breakdown shows long positions took the heaviest hit at $786.14 million, while short liquidations accounted for $84.40 million. That's roughly a 9:1 ratio favoring shorts.

What really stands out is the single largest liquidation recorded on Hyperliquid: a BTC-USDT position that got blown up for $25.83 million. That kind of magnitude in one order tells you there's serious leverage being thrown around in the market right now.

Damn, another 24 hours of bloodshed, this time directly taking away 870 million? The liquidation king appears, with a single order of 25 million USD blown up. These leverage players are really daring. Long positions are being brutally slaughtered, while short positions are actually making money. The market's rhythm this time is a bit ruthless. 247,000 people sacrificed, I just want to know how many of them are new retail investors. That Hyperliquid order was truly incredible; just one order could feed so many onlookers. Once I saw this data, I didn't even dare to look at my stop-loss orders...

Damn, another wave of bankruptcies, 8.7 billion dollars lost in 24 hours --- 9:1 ratio? Is the short seller crazy for harvesting so aggressively? --- 25.83M liquidation on a single trade, how much leverage does this guy have? Insane --- As soon as I saw this data, I knew someone was going to jump off a building again --- Every time I see this kind of data, I’m glad I didn’t go all in --- Long positions crushed like a sieve, luckily I didn’t bet on the rise --- Quarter million people exploded in one day, the crypto world is just like that, a gambler’s paradise
