Liquidation, it's not data, it's a lesson learned through blood
When I open this liquidation heat map, some see red, yellow, and green, but what I see are real "liquidation curves" and "tombstones of high leverage".
From mid-April to May, BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE... this row of densely packed red and yellow coins represents the most people who "maxed out their leverage" but fell on the battlefield just before dawn. You might think you're the only one struggling, but on that day, thousands of people were liquidated at the same price point as you.
The most glaring aspect is each highlighted peak of liquidation; it's not just numbers, it's every gambler who stayed up until dawn watching prices fall below their stop-loss, still fantasizing about a rebound, those brothers who went "all in on the last position", and the silent tears shed in front of the trading page.
Contracts are not just tools, they are a magnifying glass that amplifies human nature:
Greed will make you use 20x leverage just to flip the position once;
Fear will make you cut losses at the lowest point, cutting off hope;
Obsession will make one liquidation not enough, pushing for another, refusing to believe in fate.
Liquidation is not a trading mistake; it is the final punishment after a triple blow of emotions, position control, and misjudgment.
Bro, calm down, you are not a lonely retail investor; the red dots on this map represent each one of us who once was also "full of confidence".
You must remember, liquidation is not shameful, but heavy positions without risk control are; making money is not about going all in, but about surviving; true experts never gamble on "whether to liquidate or not", but rather on "whether they can control it".
The market is always there; the key is whether you can endure.
The next opportunity is given to those who can stabilize their positions, control their emotions, and withstand volatility.
Bro, if you have ever been liquidated at one of the red dots on this map, then don’t let the next time write your name again.
