Liquidation is happening again, this time 2.9 million is gone. Leverage is really playing with fire.

Leverage players are paying their tuition again. That 2.9 million order was a bit painful to watch.

Leverage players are back to giving away money again; it seems they still haven't learned their lesson.

Oh no, another wave of liquidations, a 2.9 million BTC order just wiped out. These leverage traders are really... deserved, to be honest.

Xiong Xiong glanced at this data, and a single liquidation of 2.9M is really a bit tragic, but honestly, this is the price of leverage. Behind the story of 114,421 lives is actually just four words: risk management. 24 hours, $246 million vanished into thin air. This wave of market movement indeed reminds us to treat our principal with care.
