#Strategy加仓BTC The wave of Bitcoin plummeting on January 19th was truly frightening—within two hours, it dropped from $95,400 straight down to below $92,000, causing the entire network to scream in panic.



The craziest part was a single liquidation on a derivatives platform worth $25.83 million, which equated to 280 BTC instantly vanishing. Leveraged longs were completely wiped out, and this kind of scene always makes headlines.

But here’s the interesting part—the market didn’t panic and sell off after the crash; instead, a group of traders started "adding leverage on dips." The data shows that the total open interest in contracts actually increased to 663,900 BTC, up by 14,000 BTC from the previous day.

From another perspective, it means a large amount of capital is choosing to add positions at low levels, betting on a rebound. This "adding leverage while falling" situation actually reflects a very contradictory market sentiment: short-term, there’s a real risk of liquidation and panic, but long-term, many are still optimistic. Some got caught in the stop-loss, while others are bottom-fishing. The market is always like this—opportunities and risks often come down to a single decision.

Here we go again, this kind of trick is always the same... Watching others get liquidated with 280 coins feels satisfying, but the brave ones who dare to add leverage right after—I'm truly impressed.

280 BTC are gone just like that, it hurts to watch... but the real tough guys have already started疯狂ly buying the dip at 92,000. This is the difference between gamblers and snipers, right?

25.83 million, if it blows up all at once, that's too brutal. This is the cost of leverage.

The liquidation of $25.83 million is truly incredible; 280 Bitcoins are gone just like that. Leverage traders never seem to learn. But this time, it's interesting—after the drop, some people still dare to keep pushing in. Their mindset is truly remarkable.

280 BTC is gone just like that, now that's really a knife... Seeing these people still leverage up at low levels, I really have to admire them.
