𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: LIGHT
Today’s move in $LIGHT was a clear reminder of how fast risk can materialize in low-liquidity markets.
Within roughly two hours, $LIGHT experienced a sharp collapse. Its market cap dropped from around $200 million to nearly $39 million, erasing over 80% of its value in a very short time.

This type of move is rarely random:
• Thin liquidity meant sell orders caused extreme slippage
• Large holders exiting quickly overwhelmed buy support
• Weak order books failed to absorb selling pressure
• Panic selling accelerated once key levels broke
When liquidity is shallow, prices don’t fall step-by-step — they gap down.

Market cap alone does not equal safety
• Always check volume, order-book depth, and holder concentration
• Fast pumps often signal distribution, not strength
• Exits disappear quickly when everyone rushes to sell
$LIGHT crash wasn’t an anomaly — it was a liquidity and structure issue.
