#特朗普家族币 Last night, the precious metals market exploded. Silver plunged by -8.7% in a single day, the worst since 2021; gold was not spared, dropping over -4%, with key support levels broken one after another. The crazy bull run that saw gains of over +200% this year has been wiped out in the blink of an eye.



Retail investors are shouting "top is in," but the real game is far from that simple. This isn't about fundamentals; it's a life-and-death struggle over the expectation of interest rate cuts.

The bulls are betting that rate cuts are inevitable—under political pressure, the Federal Reserve will eventually loosen monetary policy, and the new power circle has already been openly pressuring. The bears, on the other hand, are firmly holding onto the fact that inflation hasn't fully cooled down, believing that easing now would be tantamount to suicide.

But the real killer move comes from this detail: exchanges suddenly raise margin requirements, forcing leveraged positions to cut losses and liquidate, causing a stampede.

From a macro perspective, this isn't the end but rather the beginning of an era of intense volatility. When market consensus is torn apart, prices will become increasingly extreme. For retail investors, the seemingly bottom-fishing actions may actually be paying for the big players' bets. True opportunities have always been reserved for those who plan ahead—not for those rushing in only when the wind is at their back. $BTC $ETH

This wave of leveraged liquidations is truly incredible. Retail investors are still calling for a bottom, but the big funds have already run away.

It's the same old trick, a classic move of large funds harvesting retail investors.

honestly the margin requirement spike is what actually matters here—if you analyze the liquidation cascade, it's demonstrably the real killer, not some retail "ded cat" cope. everyone's obsessing over the fed theater but missing the base layer mechanic. sub-optimal risk management from exchanges, technically speaking.

The moment of leverage liquidation, I knew this was not simple. Retail investors' bottom-fishing is just taking the fall for others.

Leverage liquidation and liquidation cascade are so ruthless that retail investors can't react in time

I knew the moment the leverage exploded that retail investors would have to pay tuition again.
