⚡ Domino liquidations: How does the market collapse so quickly?

This liquidation forced exchanges to sell off locked coins, and this selling increased the drop, leading to more liquidations, and so on... until it turned into a series of consecutive collapses.

🐋 Who is the loser and who is the winner?
The biggest loser: leveraged traders who opened buy positions in hopes of a continuous rise.
Potential winner: whales and investment funds. They usually wait for moments of panic to gather more Bitcoin and Ethereum at lower prices.

🔮 Where is the market heading now?
If the wave continues, we might see Bitcoin at 105k – 100k as critical support levels.
Conversely, any strong rebound might open the door for a quick return of confidence, especially if new liquidity from institutions enters.
