Just finished reviewing the data, and it's a bit chilling. In the past hour, the entire network experienced liquidations totaling 50 million USD, with 20 million USD coming from BTC, and almost all of them being long positions. Basically, it's a bunch of leveraged positions betting on the rise, which have been forcibly wiped out by the market in this wave.
On the surface, this seems like a sign of an impending decline. But I looked at the 4-hour chart for a while, and the MACD's white-yellow line quietly crossed above the zero axis, which is interesting. Despite the bloodbath in the news, the technicals show a hint of vitality.
The question is, now the most confusing thing is: tonight's market, will it push upward toward the 89500 resistance level, or should we be wary of the support levels at 86700 and even 84100 being broken? Should we hold our positions or exit?
**The Logic Behind the Liquidation Wave**
A liquidation of 50 million USD in one hour, especially concentrated on long positions, is somewhat subtle. Once the forced liquidations are complete, the selling pressure from those orders is basically cleared. In other words, the short-term panic may be nearing its end, and this might not be the start of a decline but rather a "market cleansing" process.
**It all depends on this line**
The current price is 87465.9, exactly at a key technical level. This position is the dividing line between bulls and bears tonight. To push higher past 89500, the upward momentum needs to be sustained by MACD; to prevent a breakdown, support at 86700 and even 84100 must hold, or the technical picture could break down completely.

Damn, the long positions got smashed to pieces in one wave, it's painful just looking at it
The liquidation wave clears the market, this routine has been played for so many years and it's still the same old story
MACD has turned around, but I'm still a bit scared, if 86700 breaks, I'll just run
All-in players are gone, now it depends if retail investors dare to buy the dip
This level is really uncomfortable, knives on both sides
With such bad news, how can MACD still dare to rise? Only a fool would believe it
Technical analysis is deceptive, you still have to see where the funds are pouring
The resistance at 89500 can't be broken through, feels like we're heading down again
To clear the position or add more, this is the real dilemma
50 million liquidation, the small profit I made is not even worth mentioning
To those holding positions, pray that it doesn't get smashed again tonight

When the liquidation wave hits, the bulls are really collectively surrendering, and the market is being thoroughly cleaned out.
With 50 million thrown in, the sell orders will have to be cleared eventually. It feels like a bottom signal is slowly emerging.
The detail of MACD crossing above zero is very decisive; when news and technicals clash, there are often tricks involved.
The 87465 level is truly a crossroads; whether it breaks or holds above 84100 is the real big deal.
The bulls' all-in positions are being wiped out; in the short term, a cleanup is inevitable, but this probably isn't the end of the story.
Are you guys holding tight or pulling out now? I think this wave is a bit delicate, and I’m hesitant to bet.
The MACD line is really deciding tonight’s fate; who wins or loses is hard to predict.
Such a fierce liquidation, but it somewhat looks like the main force is shaking out weak hands—deep tricks involved.
The technical outlook shows signs of life, but the news is blood and chaos; this contradictory feeling is quite intense.
If 86700 breaks, it might head straight for 84100. Be mentally prepared.

Liquidation of 50 million? Still cutting leeks again, these leveraged traders really deserve to be smashed.
Thinking of rebounding just because MACD crossed above the zero line? Give me a break, the news sentiment is so bad.
The 87465 level is a bit risky; if we can't hold 86700, we're done.
The most important thing leveraged players should learn is to cut losses in time, don't wait to be taught a lesson by the market.
Bull-bear dividing line? Nice words, but it's actually the last lifeline for gamblers.

50 million liquidations are nothing, we're used to this kind of violent clearing.
Honestly, having long positions wiped out is actually a positive; selling pressure has to be supported by someone.
