The market rhythm has recently changed. Bitcoin's sharp decline broke through 86,000 in a single candlestick, with 190,000 traders liquidated within 24 hours, and 500 million USD evaporated instantly. It doesn't look like a normal correction; it seems more like the prelude to a leverage position avalanche.

Even more bizarre is the flow of funds. Institutions are aggressively buying gold and silver to hedge risks, causing precious metals to soar; meanwhile, the AI sector is also collapsing, with Nvidia losing nearly a trillion in market value in just two days. What does this phenomenon indicate? The market is shifting from high-risk assets to defensive positions.

The macro environment is also tightening. The US debt issue continues to ferment, and liquidity conditions are tightening. What should we do in such a situation? Many agree: reduce leverage, hold cash, and allocate some hard assets to hedge systemic risks. Similar rhythms have appeared more than once in history, and this time might really be different.

190,000 people liquidated, this number is really incredible. It's not the first time I've seen this kind of scene; leverage traders never seem to learn. --- When institutions buy gold, I know something's wrong. This is a real warning sign of an impending crisis. --- Anyone who has reduced leverage should be sleeping quite soundly now. As for us... --- Nvidia has fallen so much, and people are still buying the dip? That's really bold. --- Next爆雷 point? I bet the bond market will break first. --- U.S. debt has been sitting there all along. When will it truly trigger a crisis? --- Hearing the hard asset hedging argument for three years, but no major crash yet. --- Is history repeating itself? No, this time it’s definitely different... maybe even worse. --- 5 billion USD has evaporated, and this is probably just the beginning. --- The calm before the leverage avalanche, we are all waiting for the next wave.

Nap warning... Just woke up, 190,000 people liquidated? This pace is a bit crazy. 500 million is gone, and the real issue is that gas fees are still rising. I've seen institutions bottom-fishing in gold before, the next crash will definitely be in liquidity. Wait, about Nvidia's trillion-dollar drop and surge... there's something there. The prelude to a leverage avalanche sounds very professional, but I'm only concerned about how to adjust cash allocations. Is this really different this time? Every time they say that.

190,000 people being wiped out? This time it's really intense. But on the other hand, such times are actually opportunities; it all depends on who can catch the right moment. --- I've smelled the feeling of leverage crashing before, but this time the capital flow is indeed a bit abnormal. Institutions are bottom-fishing in precious metals, which shows they've been panicking for a while. --- I've heard a hundred times that holding cash is important, but few can truly hold on. I bet the next trigger will be when liquidity is completely frozen. --- So now, is it time to reduce positions or bottom-fish? Honestly, I can't tell for sure. But one thing's for sure: the end of leverage traders is near. --- Five hundred million dollars gone in an instant—that's the charm of crypto. Let's see who can survive until the bull market. --- NVIDIA's plunge is indeed outrageous; this is the real risk signal. Gold rising is a hedge, but for those of us with positions, nothing is a hedge. --- Replaying history? No, this time it's crazier. When systemic risk truly erupts, even institutions won't be able to save themselves.

190,000 people being Islamized is a joke; leverage traders have once again handed money to the exchanges. --- Holding onto cash is the real deal; the surge in gold itself is indicating a problem. --- Nvidia's drop is so sharp? Ha, the AI bubble is finally about to burst. --- With US bonds so tight, does anyone dare to go all-in long? Wake up, everyone. --- The next trigger point? I bet on corporate bond defaults or a certain highly leveraged fund. --- Looking at this market, there's no other way but to reduce leverage, really. --- Institutions are all rushing to buy precious metals, while retail investors are still in a daze. --- The $500 million evaporation is just the appetizer; it feels like a big show is coming. --- This rhythm is indeed strange, not as simple as a normal correction. --- I've already liquidated my positions long ago, just waiting to see how this show unfolds.
