Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】XRP just experienced a targeted liquidation, with $2.38 million in long positions being wiped out. Just looking at the data shows how fierce it was—the imbalance between short and long positions is complete, with a ratio as high as 122,680%. The price dropped from a high of $1.86 to $1.83. It may not sound like a big move, but for those heavily leveraged longs, it was enough to trigger a chain reaction. Essentially, it’s still a problem of excessive leverage. When the market fluctuates slightly and positions are severely unbalanced, even a small rebound can trigger a series of automatic liquidations. This event once again reminds us that in leverage trading, risk management always comes first.

yo that 122,680% imbalance screaming red flags... analyzed this thoroughly and nope, unsafe implementation written all over it. small price swing shouldn't cascade into $2.3m liquidations like that, smh. common attack vector honestly, overleveraged positions waiting to explode. dyor but fr the risk management here was basically non-existent lol

$2.38 million just gone? Leverage is really a double-edged sword; if you don't play it well, you could lose everything.

Another leverage disaster, 2.38 million just gone? Even small fluctuations can trigger a meltdown, how are there still people willing to go all-in on XRP --- 122680% imbalance ratio, is this a gamble? No wonder they got wiped out --- A three-cent drop causing chain reactions of liquidations, leverage players are truly incredible --- It's always the same story. When will these people learn? --- Risk management? In the crypto world, that's a joke. Everyone just wants to go all-in --- Just looking at these numbers, you can tell someone is eating the positions. 2.38 million is probably just the appetizer --- From 1.86 to 1.83, is that all? And someone got liquidated because of this? So weak --- Leverage games always favor the house; retail investors are always the ones paying the bill
