Bitcoin liquidation at $117k signals heightened short-term risk
I had a $104k long on Bitcoin liquidated at $117,339.90, which highlights how quickly leveraged positions can blow up in this market. That single large liquidation underscores elevated intraday volatility and potential liquidity gaps around current levels.
Given this outcome, I'm treating the recent price action as a warning: I won't be initiating new long positions until I see clearer support or reduced volatility. Risk management and smaller position sizing are essential right now.
Analysis
The large forced exit at $117,339.90 implies concentrated leverage and potential stop-run activity; this increases short-term downside risk and suggests liquidity thinness around recent highs.
Recommendation
Don't buy new longs here—reduce exposure, tighten stops, or hedge until clear support and lower volatility emerge; wait for confirmation before adding positions.
