tonight there was a big mess due to the market dropping crazily in just a few minutes and yes this was beyond all of our predictions, no one was safe, everyone thought there would be a bull market, and that's what we were waiting for, but this was unexpected, and yes this is a crypto market which has high volatility and is very easily influenced by news and is very sensitive.

Damn I got liquidated in $SUI and $BTC this morning, and forgot to use SL before, SL is very important even if you have the confidence to take care of unexpected things like this. :'( :'( :'(

I could've anticipated how far bitcoin was going to fall but I did not have it in mind with alts. I also had a small margin on Link that got partially liquidated and now I'm wondering whether to rebuy - it was on a DeFi platform. But I was thinking of selling about half an hour ago so maybe it's worth the wait too.

I don't think this is just influenced by the news. In technical analysis the price should be bearish within this week since it's already reach the top upper channel of the broadening pattern or the old trend started year 2021.

Look as at this image below I draw this since september and make a new screenshot just now.

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/10/11/UGxyqH.jpeg

As you can see, it rejects once it touches on the upper channel of the trend.
So the bias this week should be bearish. If there's recent news, then that's the fuel to suddenly make the market crash in just a few hours.

It was looking like it but wasn't too sure because it was bullish sign but it happened unexpectedly. This is surely a volatile market that you need to have a backup protection mechanism like SL. I wonder if a trader who is over confident without SL will come out of this surprise. For now, there is no need to jump in for a rebuy but to allow the market to take a direction. Price touching $101,750 from the top of $120k within two days is quite alarming. But it is having a spike right now back to $112k.

Whether you truly forgot or you're the type of trader who doesn't shy away from risk by not setting a stop loss when trading, this is a risky trade, as they won't compromise with someone forgetting to set a stop loss. An important lesson to be learned from this story is that anyone involved in trading must consistently set a stop loss/take profit order to limit losses on each trade.

Confidence can sometimes be deadly because trading requires discipline to limit losses, otherwise you could lose everything. I've experienced this myself, but I was fortunate enough to not have a large amount of capital, and the market can move so quickly in the opposite direction, requiring caution.

Those that understand cryptocurrency will not bolder themselves for the decreasing that happened suddenly, bitcoin is a volatility which some traders are aware for them to trade with caution because the price can increase higher today and start decreasing tomorrow for traders to take advantage of both either to sell to earn income or to buy and hold for another bullish season, my funds is not included because I saw this sign some months ago that makes me to reduce the amount of funds for trading, and when it happen few  hours ago, i  was convinced that bearish season is arrived because the price decrease to $112k to stop some traders to pause.

Altcoins are sensitive to crash when Bitcoin has correction and not only $SUI was suffered with this correction from Bitcoin. You can see the liquidation data from Coinglass as well as other websites.

https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData

You can see more than $16B was liquidated on the market in the last 24 hours, and the data shows how many money lost through market liquidations. If you hold your coins in Spot positions or in your non custodial wallets, your are well even there is loss, it is still smaller than what you lost by liquidations.

Market will recover after a crash but if you lost money in liquidations, you are done with about 70% or 80% money lost and can not get it back.

Theres likely most everyone got affected by it. Not only bticoin suffer a huge blow but especially the altcoin markets. As you can see, most of the alts are down if not 30% some are even more than 50%. Those numbers liquidated so far is the biggest one weve ever seen. But able to earn some from trading when it got dipped. But the system great!

Yes, I also got liquidated for some altcoins but my BTC future trading is safe ;D

My BTC position was under $80k so that is not a problem for me ;D

Some other altcoins are still in their position but I am ready for anything that happens. I place another position for some altcoins that I think can go down further.

Some altcoins already closed by themselves because I prepared SL but the close position still gave me profit ;D

Be careful this weekend. The market is going crazy ;D

I closed my position right after donald trump's tweet floating around, that tweet is like a bright red flag and I'm not gonna take any L so lucky me that I've closed all my position, the only lose I have is from my spot holding which honestly gonna recover eventually.
I've reopened my position again right now though so i'm hoping that there will be no news about retaliation from china because if that happens, another wave of dump is coming.

What a really bad day today is and it is a world mental health day, what a coincidence :D.

Stop loss is very important for high risk traders but not important for low risk traders. If you got liquidation with how bitcoin moved yesterday, you are a high risk trader and the reason you thought that stop loss is very important. It is better you use it next time.

But for me I will prefer to trade with just low leverage. People that use 5x were almost liquidated but not liquidated and the price of bitcoin increased back to almost half of where it was falling from.

For those that where not greedy and used to bitcoin weekly market benchmark movement in price you already expected what happened, when the price of bitcoin hit it all time high of 125k we should expect a sharp correction, when i saw that 102k price yesterday i know we are in a long run and many positions would have been liquidated by know unless that that have big amount for their position servicing to push their liquidation price down.

I guess some of us could have been liquidated, unexpectedly and trying to find the reason. But for now, the bleeding hasn't stop, this is weekend and supposedly the market should be quiet and resting.

But the opposite is happening, and obviously it has been triggered by someone who had his sell order all over the wall and there could be some panic. But in any case, there are a negative news again by the Trump administration.


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-down-5-5-114-210603822.html

And this news could also be aligning on what we see in our charts.

Since I wasn't holding any positions, I didn't experience any losses. I was just surprised this morning when I saw the market and notifications from Bitcoin and altcoin exchanges drop.
This is a dark weekend for traders, many must have been liquidated, so one must always be careful because actually when the market goes up, a decline is sure to follow and vice versa, always be prepared for this situation.

Yes of course the entire cryptocurrency market crashed for just a few minutes. And I posted a post on WO Thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg65906111#msg65906111 and within a short time the market was completely revived. Donald Trump imposed tariffs on China, and this forced some people to sell their Bitcoin.
Not only that, some people lost all their money who were UP in futures trading. Such a market crash scares the weak hands, the strong hands hold more Bitcoin and use it as a dip.

When the market is so calm, it's sometimes scary that some unexpected nightmare and crash would come. I'm sorry that you've got liquidated with those position of yours. This is the reason I don't do any futures anymore, I'm scared of being liquidated and that's why I mostly stay in the spot to retain myself in the position that I can still recover even if the market crashes unexpectedly, my coins are still intact and its value will just recover when the market gets healthier again. Every second is important when you position yourself in leverage because in split seconds, these huge crashes can happen that could liquidate your entire position.

Your liquidation storey is a sobering lesson about the undue risks of going in debt; we appreciate it. That can be quite false, the market peaceful peaceful can be an illusion only to crash down at any time. The decision to leave the futures trading and hold the original coin is founded on the high passion to maintain capital. Spot assets also allow one to have a safety net and in case the price plummets, you will not have totally lost the coins since you can always recover them provided you are still in possession of them.

How the market will react to leverage is absolutely terrifying, one move in price will be the difference between success and failure and one must keep an eye on it at all times. The primary concern should be capital protection and the manner in which you did it is quite comprehensible.

You are right and I see it too, but I see it looks like we will break that area and do a reversal to create a new ATH again with Octobull sentiment, because we already had 2 needles touching it at the previous time and then a correction, we should have been able to do very well last night and have a different scenario to before, but the news sentiment was bad and forced Bitcoin to be lowered because the trigger was bad for the market, this was also pushed  For the bookies it seems, they did the same thing to liquidate long position holders, this is quite reasonable, because the decline was so cruel.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/10/11/UMaPTc.png

Look at how this graph works, we should have risen to the green area and gradually continued to rise until we managed to finish Q4 easily, but we have been in the blue zone for too long, and that is not a good thing, is this theory becoming obsolete? or are we still waiting for something to see Bitcoin enter the green and yellow areas?

I haven't liquidated because I don't do future trading. So my money isn't included in the last day's liquidations. But my portfolio has been dumped hard since I am holding a couple of coins, including Bitcoin as well. The main reason I can't use stop losses for my holdings is all of the holdings in my hardware wallet. Unfortunately my exchange wallet had zero USDT, which means I even failed to take advantage of the dump. One of my friends called me during the dump to buy something. But I had no funds in exchange, and I was far from my hardware wallet as well.

However, I am not concerned about the dump. Because I know this is part of crypto, and the market will recover within a week or so. Rather, if I had USDT in my wallet, probably I would invest more somewhere, either in Bitcoin or alts.

Only those who followed risk management remained safe. And one of the key points of which is to set a stop loss, which helped reduce losses on the last dump and thus saved the deposit. And for those whose deposits have been liquidated, there is a good opportunity to study risk management.

It's best to leave the futures market when it has already rekt you. When traders think that they might able to recover from there, the chances are quite low if they have that mindset. The sudden crash of the market shows that their confidence could be destroyed in a split seconds when this occurrence has come and no one knows what's the actual reason of it from the very time that it has happened.

This sudden drop teaches us two things, or we should say it proves two things that we always hear here and there, and they are:

1. Futures and margin trading are not suitable for everyone.
2. When trading in futures, use money that you can afford to lose, and in spot, use money that you don't need in the near future.

So, those who used to think it's very easy to make money from futures, and that they can manage everything properly without losing money, all of them have learned their lesson from this, especially those who don't use stop-loss like you, @OP, and think that nothing would happen all of a sudden. We often forget that we are in a market where things like this happen every now and then, and we should always be prepared for them. :)

Yes you are right, I'm not not learning, I know I have to place SL on every trade I make, but yesterday's momentum made me blind and I didn't put SL on the trades I made on all the positions I took, fortunately some of them were still in spot trading and not mixed with the wallet used for derivative trading, this gave me the opportunity to get bullish momentum at the end of the cycle, who knows what happens I have prepared mentally to receive the final results in this cycle.

And actually there was something that annoyed me about the exchange I used, I ordered SUI coins under $1 with the market order option, but they kept rejecting it with the phrase (market error and suspend).

I manage to make a partial profit with the previous ATH which is good already to me and some of my coins are just small amount its good too that I manage to make a cutlosses during the time are already doubt with the current stand of the market so it seems its possible the last ride of the ATH and we are now expecting for the break out for the bitcoin seems also it affects base on the trump statement reason why with a massage downwards of the market. Tons of people gets liquidated with this news feels bad to them just doing DCA spot recently.

I hope your confidence does not collapse for the next trade. The situation was truly unexpected. Many people on social media are complaining because of the sharp decline that happened in such a short time.
I personally did not experience any losses other than the decrease in Bitcoin value. That’s because I haven’t opened any positions in trading this week. Hopefully, your losses will be recovered in your next trade.

One thing we must learn is to always be guided when trading especially for those that does daily trading because such attack is something that we can never imagine or expected to happen anytime soon. For traders, it would be Ideal they always use their Stop Loss while resting or sleeping or even at the active moments it would be good they uses it to avoid uncalled or unwanted loses while trading.
You know when I saw the dip it was heart touching and again another best opportunities for those who are looking for a best entry point to buy bitcoin, and of course the whales and institution could utilized this opportunity as the market dump severely to accumulate much volume of bitcoin in their portfolio.

I can't believing got liquidated with Ethereum last night although with small leverage and have funding margin fund almost $900 can't avoid from liquid, one bad thing after getting liquidation email notification without few minutes my coins future trading price recovering quite faster. Its bad side how market crash significant impact of bitcoin down drastically from $122k drop until $102k.
But still luckiness I have hold coins at spot and waiting for recovering back with price increasing down almost 20%, hope its last huge correction of market and get faster recovering back to the higher price.

Last night, market liquidated take short term as usual bitcoin correction around one until two days but this moment without few hours bitcoin drop drastically. After few percent recovering bitcoin price still stable, really expect bitcoin return back above $120k to give opportunity for altcoin recovering to higher price again.

Sorry to hear about your situation, bro, but that's a risk as a trader. Overconfidence isn't a good thing for the market either. Crypto has a very volatile track record, and we still have that in our DNA. It seems like no matter how long this happens in the crypto market, nothing will truly stabilize because crypto is still highly sentimental about global geopolitical situations that damage one of the asset classes with high risk.

Stop-loss is a very important key for futures traders. Without it, we are easily liquidated. I saw posts on social media, both on X, Instagram, and other forums, saying the same thing about the suffering of this dump. And yes, in this dump, the amount of money liquidated in the crypto market was far greater than during the FTX collapse and the COVID-19 crash. This is a new history, spanning only a few minutes and hours.

That is the risk that comes with Futures trading, particularly those traders who like to trade with high leverage. Some traders seem to forget that as leverage can greatly increase your profit, on the other hand it can also increase your losses and get you liquidated. Do not be a greedy trader, rather try and protect your funds at all time.

If you think you are an experienced trader and you decide to trade Furures, you have to implement risk management strategies to cushion the effect of rapid rise and fall in price based on your position (long or short). And if you are not experienced, then stick to spot trading, it is what is ideal for you.

Of a truth, I didn't lose any money in the market yesterday, but in this kind of case, a Stop-Loss Order would have been very effective in risk management because of its design, of which is to automatically limit an investor's potential loss on a security position, thus effectively mitigating loss.

Some of the benefits of using a SL in real time trading is that it would help to remove the emotional factor, thus making one make a clear an informed decision.
It would also help for automatic responses and locking in of profit for a long position in the market as the price moves in a traders favor or against it.

bro!! tha is a hard one on you!! sorry about your loss. the market showed again how it can change so fast without warning anyone even if we feel sure about a trade! crypto can move the other way in just matter of minutes. that is why stop losses are just like a seat belt in this crypto vehicle they don’t make you win!! but at least they save you from losing everything at once. like seriously many traders face the same thing when the market drops suddenly, so you are not alone. the best thing now is to learn from it going forward!! please try to use better risk control and never trade without a plan. if there is one thing i am sure of!! is that the market will always give new chances so it is smarter to protect your money.

A similar problem was observed on other exchanges, as there were too many traders who wanted to buy coins at such low prices. I tried to buy wrapped ETH on the Binance exchange when its price dropped to $400, but I could only really buy it at $2,600.

For those that got liquidated in this recent market crisis, it sad but reality hits when we list expect it, so this is one of those things and you guy's should have made some reasonable gains in the recent bull market.

Trading is always filled with a lot of uncertainties and sometimes, it feels really sad to see our position get liquidated when we list thought it, we must be ready for a long deep market for this season bear market is here already.

I think SL should be the first thing you consider when setting a trade. Calculating your risk and knowing how much you stand to loose should be action every trader should consider. I have been reading the news about how many persons committed suicide and took their own lives because of the losses they incurred, I think most of them failed to use a SL in their trade and were perhaps too overconfident in their analysis of the market. There are traders as well who got it right and made profit from the market, I cannot call it just luck, but that they got their analysis right and it is usually based on the experience and skill in the market.

Honestly, the good part about investing early and from lower entry point (while also doing DCA) is great just because of seeing days like these. People are overreacting to it and I do not think that it will be that great but it is not that bad at all. We are talking about something that is quite obviously not a big deal at all. I get it, it should not be something that would be that easy to handle, and we need to realize things are okay.

This isn't some price that happened just now, it was already like this, we had a little pump and now have a little dump and these are all normal. We need to learn to not focus on anything big, we should be able to do a fine job of it, and not really get a bad return in any of this.

The market is looking like it's strong to move but aside from Bitcoin, there is no coin that is trading close to all time high, they are all at loss. Right now, the old investors are waiting for the price to move high so the can exit as even or continue to hold while the new people are expecting the price to go lower. There is fear in the market but nobody is confident to speak up because it's going to look like they are funding there investment, it's going to affect their money that are lock on their investment.

Yes I was also affected by how the market performed in the past days and it hasn't being funny when I checked how my stash has shrinked though not that big considering the amount am hodling to what others have lost.

This very price fall across all cryptocurrencies was expected as much as a rise in prices of cryptos were projected and I think a lot of traders could have ignored using SL. It was actually a huge reck of all times.

Yes, in the end we have to accept what has happened, regretting for a long time is not the best solution because our mentality must be maintained and trained to be even stronger, and this all provides very valuable lessons for all of us, especially traders whose positions were liquidated due to yesterday's crash. My money entered the historical record of the largest crypto market liquidation so far, which is a matter of pride but has sadness because of the loss. LOL

OK, we have to continue with the beautiful days.


Of course it has to be and I have to convince myself to always install SL, did you know that recently there was a news report stating that a crypto influencer committed suicide after yesterday's crash, he died in his Lamborghini, his mental state could no longer hold back his frustration due to the loss and decided to end his life.

He is an influencer from Ukraine

Everyone experiences a drop in asset value when Bitcoin crashes, but fortunately, we weren't involved in the trading, so the drop didn't have a detrimental effect. I also saw a drop in the value of my Bitcoin holdings, but I was fortunate enough to understand the downward trend well enough to avoid psychologically impacting my decision to sell. This is why it's important to remain calm and avoid taking an approach that could be detrimental to our.

If involved in trading, a stop-loss position is essential because it aims to minimize the resulting risk. If you don't use a stop loss, you might lose more money in trading, especially when the market conditions are moving so fast, such as the decline that occurred in the last few days, and it needs to be implemented as a precautionary measure.

For those who trade in sports, this will be just another correction, although of course it has had a major impact on the price. But such things have happened before, so I think everything should recover over time. The most important thing is not to panic and not to rush to sell now if that means locking in losses. Especially if most of your portfolio consists of Bitcoin, then everything will be fine in the long run.
