According to @ai_9684xtpa, a macro headline triggered roughly USD 20B in forced liquidations and about 1.6M trader liquidations, marking one of the most violent flash crashes in crypto while the Nasdaq dropped 3.5% the same day, the largest daily fall since April, yet crypto’s drawdowns were sharper (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, the drawdown was amplified by three structural drivers: liquidity scarcity versus equities (crypto market cap about USD 3.83T vs USD 67T for US stocks) causing market makers to prioritize BTC and ETH liquidity and pull support from small-cap altcoins, leading to many declines near 90% (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, high leverage across perps, borrowing, and arbitrage created a cascading deleveraging, exemplified by USDE, BNSOL, and WBETH holding near fair value at the initial bottom but collapsing later as chained liquidations spread (source: @ai_9684xtpa). According to @ai_9684xtpa, the largely unregulated structure removes continuous-quote obligations for market makers, limits recourse against manipulation, and lacks mature risk mechanisms, further worsening crash dynamics (source: @ai_9684xtpa). Trading takeaways include favoring BTC/ETH over long-tail alts during stress, reducing leverage in altcoin perps, and closely monitoring collateral tokens like USDE, BNSOL, and WBETH for depeg and collateral haircut risk as market makers retreat and liquidity thins (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to Trader Tardigrade, the Dogecoin liquidation heatmap highlights two significant liquidity levels above the current market price: $0.189 with $2.46 billion and $0.1995 with $2.14 billion in liquidity (source: @TATrader_Alan, June 9, 2025). These levels are crucial for traders as they indicate potential price targets where large liquidations may occur, influencing short-term volatility and market maker strategies. Monitoring these targets can provide actionable trade setups for both breakout and reversal scenarios in the DOGE/USDT pair.
