Recently, in this wave of market activity, major institutions are clearly hitting the brakes. Since the sharp decline in mid-October, retail investors have been largely wiped out, and institutional funds have begun to withdraw in an orderly manner. Compared to the frantic influx and sharp price increases seen in the first half of the year, the situation has completely reversed—whales are cutting leeks without hesitation, daily liquidations and margin calls are common, and the routine is to induce longs, dump the market, then induce longs again, and dump again, cycling repeatedly. Where there used to be occasional liquidations every few days, now it's outright snatching, with no attempt to hide it.



Retail investors' mentality has also changed. The dream of "turning 100,000 into 1 million" has shifted to "get back to break-even quickly, don’t lose more." We’re just enduring until 2025, and I really hope the market will be gentler in 2026, rather than so brutal.

From the data, in the past 24 hours, a total of 76,744 people across the entire network have been liquidated, with a total liquidation amount of $140 million. Among them, long positions liquidated amount to $75.0825 million, and short positions to $65.0199 million.

**Mainstream Coin Technical Overview:**

**BTC** is currently encountering resistance around 88,000. If it can stabilize above this level and close there, it may form a support-resistance switch, followed by testing the resistance levels at 89,100 and 90,100. Conversely, if it cannot break through and turns downward, key supports to watch are 85,800 and 83,600.

**ETH** continues to be supported at 2,835 and 2,730. The first resistance above is in the 3,015-3,020 range; if broken, it could challenge 3,150, but a pullback may occur near that level, so stay alert.

**SOL** as previously analyzed, rebounded from the support zone at 120-121. If the price falls back to around 120, observe whether the reaction remains effective.
BTC1.17%
ETH0.9%

The real snatch is true, $140 million is gone just like that, retail investors are really too miserable. It's our turn to buy the dip this time, don't panic. If 88,000 can't hold, just look at 85,800. If ETH can't break 3015 this wave, just wait to be smashed. The 120 level for SOL also feels very虚, it depends on the trading volume. Before institutions withdraw, keep cutting, wait until retail investors are all dead before it can rise? LOL. Can 2026 be gentler? I really can't stand this rhythm.

76,744 people liquidated, this number makes my scalp tingle, institutions really don't hold back at all. The current tactic is to induce buying and then dump, cycle and cut the leeks, retail investors are defenseless. If the key level of 88,000 cannot hold, I think we should prepare for a 5,000 dollar drop. It's too difficult. From dreaming of 1 million to just wanting to break even, what does this change in mentality indicate? Everyone must be tired. BTC staying at 88,000 for so long makes me think the possibility is slim. It's better to prepare for a decline early.

Retail investors are too miserable, being slaughtered every day --- 76,744 liquidations, $140 million, just looking at these numbers makes me uncomfortable --- Can 2026 be gentler? I'm really worn out --- Institutions' tactics are becoming more direct, no longer even pretending --- Can the key level at 88,000 hold? Feels like it's about to plunge again --- It's already good to return to the original investment dream, don't expect too much --- Pinning and liquidation happen too frequently, clearly a form of harvesting --- If ETH can't hold at 2835, it might drop back to 2730 --- Pinning, pump-and-dump, smashing the market—old tricks reaching new heights --- Why does it feel more and more brutal? Retail investors have no way out

Wow, 76,744 people liquidated. This is clearly outright theft, no longer even hiding it. Wait a bit longer to see if 88,000 can hold, but it feels like it will drop further. What's going on? After institutions wipe out retail investors, they run away. Who came up with this trick? The 1 million dream is shattered. Now I just want to avoid losing money; this market is too tough. If BTC can't break through 88, I feel like 85 will be quickly broken. This wave is too fierce, hitting the market every day. I'm already numb. Can SOL hold at 120? It feels like another test of patience. Can 2026 be gentler? 2025 is just so torturous. Retail investors have really been washed out; what's left are blood and tears. ETH is stuck stubbornly at 3000. So annoying, this market.
