The cross-border shocks in the global financial markets are accelerating in their manifestation. Recent policy uncertainties have led to a sharp rise in U.S. Treasury yields, and the Japanese bond market has also experienced anomalies. This "double kill" situation has directly impacted the liquidity foundation of the crypto market.
Data shows a rapid decline: Bitcoin has fallen below the $90,000 mark, Ethereum has broken through $3,000, and major coins like SOL and ADA have plunged by up to 5%. On-chain statistics indicate that over $1.09 billion in funds have been liquidated. This is no longer just a simple technical correction but an intuitive reflection of macro risks in the crypto market.
There are three market realities that need to be acknowledged. First, policy changes have a deeper impact on liquidity than expected. The rise in global bond yields directly drains risk asset funding, rendering the "decentralized" nature of the crypto market powerless at this moment. Second, the operational logic of institutional funds has been fully exposed in panic. Assets touted as "hedging tools" are often sold off first during stress tests, indicating that emotional-driven factors outweigh fundamentals. Third, retail investors' timing in "bottom fishing" has become a huge challenge. They blindly buy during price drops, unaware that professional institutions have already pre-positioned or exited through structural tools.
In such an environment, data is more valuable than confidence. Monitoring U.S. Treasury yield trends, volatility index changes, and large on-chain transfer signals can help assess the true flow of funds. Market opportunities often hide in moments of widespread sell-off, but only if you can see clearly what others are afraid of.

Institutions are really playing us, shouting about risk avoidance while rushing to exit first
It's always a game of big players bottom-fishing; we must keep an eye on on-chain data
The US bond yield is downright deadly, a liquidity vampire
10.9 billion in liquidation, this is the real market stress test
Retail investors are always slow to react; where is the promised decentralization?
When policies change, all risk-hedging tools become paper tigers
Looking at data is much more useful than reading news; don’t be fooled by emotions
Institutions time their exits perfectly, while we’re still hesitating
That’s why I only look at on-chain signals, not empty talk

It's another show of institutions harvesting retail investors; in a double kill market, we can only be the leeks.
Still need to watch US bonds? That's hilarious. If you can't even handle macroeconomics, what are you talking about decentralization?
A direct liquidation of 1.09 billion was dumped, now that's a real stress test. Stop talking about risk hedging tools.
The question is, who can truly see what others are afraid of? The big players have already run, and we're still picking up the pieces.

ngl if you look at the data, institutions dumping "hedge assets" first just proves it's all sentiment theater anyway

Ha, it's that same argument again: "See clearly what others are afraid of"... Easy to say, but how many can truly see it clearly?
Institutions have wiped out retail investors and now they talk about fundamentals. This time, I choose to lie back and watch the show.
Liquidation of 1.09 billion? Small scale, and it might get even more intense later.

Once again, institutions are manipulating the market while retail investors are still trying to buy the dip; they have already exited.
Institutions said risk hedging tools would be used, but they were the first to be hammered—laughable. This is the price of "trust."
When US bonds drop, cryptocurrencies cry; the so-called decentralization is truly invincible in the face of macroeconomic factors.
Bitcoin at 90,000, Ethereum at 3000—feels like it needs to drop to a price where I can go all-in.
Watching others be afraid, it's easy to say, but who the hell can really see through it? Anyway, I can't tell.
This round of liquidations totaled 1.09 billion, and I don't know how many small accounts were directly wiped out—tragic.
Instead of guessing the bottom, it's better to watch for large on-chain transfers; data doesn't lie, but human sentiment does.

It's that time again for institutions to cut the leeks. We're retail investors still buying the dip, but they've already run away.

Here we go again. Institutions are positioning themselves early while retail investors are still bottom-fishing. Why is the gap so huge?
