Massive Liquidations Shake the Market

According to CoinGlass, 106,815 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, totaling $363.46 million in losses. The largest single liquidation was a $3.32 million SOLUSDT order on Binance, showing the fragility of over-leveraged positions in a choppy macro environment.
