Breaking: Over $525 million in crypto long positions wiped out in just 60 minutes.

The speed and scale of these liquidations raise serious questions. Within such a compressed timeframe, we're seeing cascading liquidations that suggest potential market manipulation at play—whether through coordinated selling pressure or leveraged position hunting.

When this volume liquidates this fast, retail traders typically get caught in the undertow. The question every trader should ask: Is this organic market correction or coordinated pressure targeting overleveraged positions? Either way, it's a reminder that crypto market dynamics can shift brutally fast.

Here we go again, 500 million USD lost in an hour. I bet five bucks it's another whale's doing.

Five comments in different styles: 1. Here we go again, 525 million disappeared in an hour. Whose feast is this time? 2. NGL, this liquidation speed is a bit strange, feels off. 3. Retail investors got cut again; leverage is poison. 4. Clearing 500 million in 60 minutes? How many whales need to move together for that? 5. Some people made a killing, others got liquidated—it's always like this.
