Yesterday's drop is not just a correction; it's a liquidation storm. Over $1.1 billion 'evaporated' from the market in 24 hours. It was a cascade: the price falls → margin sellers trigger automatic sales → the price plummets even lower.

​📉 Who suffered the most?


  • Long traders (Main victims): More than 570,000 traders saw the message 'Liquidation' on their screens. 90% of all losses were incurred by those who believed in a quick rebound and held long positions with leverage. One 'whale' on the OKX exchange managed to lose $12 million on a single BTC position.

  • Ethereum ($ETH ) — The main 'anti-leader':

    Ether showed weakness yesterday, breaking the psychological barrier of $2,000. Just on ETH, positions worth $355 million were liquidated. Investors were panicking and exiting the asset, fearing that the network upgrade wouldn't save the price.

  • XRP and Solana ($SOL ):

    Altcoins fell faster than the market. $XRP dropped by 21%, while Solana corrected nearly by 12%. For those who entered at the highs in October (when BTC was at $126k), yesterday became a point of capitulation.

  • MicroStrategy (MSTR):

Michael Saylor's company's shares fell by 12-15%. Investors began to doubt the company's strategy, as the average purchase price of their last BTC batches was around $76,000. Now they are at a 'paper' loss.


​📊 Horror numbers (as of February 5-6, 2026):


  • ​Bitcoin: touched $63,500 (a drop of almost 50% from the all-time high).

  • ​Fear index: fell to 11 (Extreme fear).

  • Liquidations per hour: At the peak moment, $355 million was wiped out in 60 minutes.


​My conclusion: Yesterday the market cleared out excess 'fat' and random passengers. Those who lost the most are the people who neglected stop-losses and risk management.
