#MarketPullback Yesterday’s $19B Crypto Liquidation Shock — Lessons for Traders

A sudden macro shock ignited extreme volatility across futures, triggering over $19 billion in forced liquidations in 24 hours. Within the first hour alone, more than $6–7 billion was wiped out as cascades of margin calls hit heavily leveraged positions, especially in Bitcoin and Ethereum. The episode exposed the danger of over-leverage when markets move fast. For disciplined traders, three takeaways stand out: 1) dial back leverage and maintain buffer capital, 2) set protection rules (stop-loss, collateral cushions), and 3) monitor macro + policy headlines as possible catalysts. #CryptoNews #Liquidations #RiskManagement
