In a shocking turn of events, more than 163,000 traders found themselves liquidated over the past 24 hours, leading to a jaw-dropping $500.24 million in losses. This chaos unfolded against the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s recent speech on tariffs, stirring frustration and anxiety among traders.
Data from Coinglass reveals that the largest single liquidation took place on Binance, specifically involving the ETH/USDT pairing, stirring unrest in the trading community. "Every time Trump speaks, the markets react unpredictably," lamented a disgruntled trader, capturing the sentiment of many who feel trapped in a cycle of market disruptions.
Interestingly, some users seem unfazed by the turmoil. A trader pointed out this event as a "typical market shakeout before the real move," suggesting that perhaps this leans toward a buying opportunity for those with cash to spare. However, skepticism remains, with traders expressing concern that "you’d have to be an idiot to long before Trump announced the global tariffs."
Recent discussions reflect mixed feelings among traders:
Market Manipulation Frustration: Many traders are fed up with the incessant volatility closely tied to political announcements. Interestingly, some assert that this latest tariff drama will lose its narrative power soon, needing a new focus for market manipulation.
Buying Opportunities Exist: While fear captivates many, others are seizing this as a "golden chance to accumulate more." As one trader wisely noted, "When others are fearful, you must be greedy."
Anticipation of Increased Volatility: With significant economic data on the horizon, including inflation rates and Powell’s upcoming address, traders brace for further turbulence ahead.
"This drama needs to end; we're all just pawns at this point, it seems," echoed another trader, highlighting a wave of dissatisfaction within the community.
As the week progresses, traders are keenly aware that more economic indicators could impact the crypto market dramatically. Amid speculation that the current tariff-induced drama will fade, many in the community are left wondering if they can regain control over their trading strategies.
