Picture this: $BTC pumps 3% in half an hour, mass short liquidations follow. Then it reverses—down 5% in the same 30-minute window—and longs get wiped out too. The whipsaw is brutal, isn't it? Both sides of the trade getting trapped. You'd think someone's orchestrating this, and maybe that's not paranoia talking. Could stricter market oversight actually be the answer here? Look, nobody's thrilled about regulation in crypto. But when price swings that extreme clear out positions on both sides within minutes, it raises legitimate questions about market structure and whether some guardrails might benefit the ecosystem.

ngl, those 30-min whipsaws reek of suspicious activity detected... wallet clustering on exchanges right before dumps always follows the same pattern. traced through multiple hops before, classic liquidation cascade signature tbh

This is a typical sucker meat grinder, both sides are dead, who makes money? Just those few market makers.

This is a typical Whale playing people for suckers, attacking from both sides.

Ironically, this kind of thing happens in every bull and bear cycle, and data shows that most people are still losing money.
