Recently, after reading reports from major financial media outlets, I was truly shocked by this wave of exaggerated publicity.

Some time ago, BTC experienced an outrageous market anomaly—its price suddenly plummeted from $87,600 to $24,100, a drop of over 70%, and then sharply rebounded within seconds. Such flash crashes are indeed frightening, and it's no wonder that media outlets are heavily sensationalizing headlines like "System BUG" and "Crypto Panic."

But honestly, these extreme fluctuations are often caused by liquidity gaps, chain reactions from contract liquidations, or technical issues at exchanges—not genuine "crashes." The rapid rebound actually indicates that the market has enough buying support.

The situation with ETH is similar, with its volatility following BTC's movements. The key is not to be misled by sensational headlines; instead, look at trading depth and position data to understand the true market logic.

BTC-0,96%

ETH0,06%

The media loves to eat this set, with flash crashes and news every ten minutes for a week Real crypto enthusiasts have long been impervious to fear, only the rookies are scared away by headlines Contract liquidation is the real killer; don’t just focus on the K-line That drop was indeed outrageous, but what does the quick recovery mean? The guys picking up the bottom have been waiting Liquidity gaps are normal operations; don’t treat them as doomsday Looking at position data can really save your life, a hundred times more reliable than reading news headlines

The media just loves to do this. A flash crash of a few seconds can be written off as the "end of the crypto world," which is really ridiculous.

The media really knows how to stir things up; a sudden crash can be written off as doomsday. Clickbait just wants to siphon off, and a quick rebound proves everything. People who watch holding data every day have long been numb; this wave doesn't scare them at all. Such volatility happens once a year; the key is who has the lowest cost. Once the liquidation chain is triggered, everything gets chaotic, but the bailout players have already been waiting in the wings.

Media really just scare retail investors with these kinds of headlines, then the price drops instantly and recovers only to crash again? Wake up, everyone. This move is just liquidity playing with fire; looking at the position data is the real key. Clickbait headlines are disgusting; it's just about that little exchange stuff. The rebound is so fast, indicating someone is frantically accumulating at the bottom. Stop obsessing over trash news like "Crypto Panic," and look at the depth charts instead. It's just liquidation and stampedes; there's no need to make such a big fuss.

Haha, I was really scared, but luckily the rebound was instant. --- Honestly, the media's clickbait headlines are really next level; I almost believed it. --- It's just a liquidity gap, no need to get so worked up. --- Looking at the depth chart is the right way; don't just listen to the calls. --- The quick pullback actually indicates someone is bottom fishing. --- ETH following the trend is normal; let's keep watching. --- This is just a low liquidity phase; those who understand know. --- Another round of leek-cutting public opinion war. --- Exchange bugs or liquidation chain reactions? Both are possible. --- The key is to look at the position data; don't guess blindly.

The media is really over the top; a 70% drop can be spun as doomsday, I just smile and say nothing. That's why I never look at news headlines, directly analyzing candlestick charts and order book data is more reliable. The flash crash has been happening repeatedly; get used to it. The key is who is taking the buy side. ETH following the trend is also no surprise; the market is just like this.

Clickbait headlines are really impressive, a 70% drop is enough to scare people to death, but it's actually just a liquidity trap. This kind of hype tactic from the media has been played out for a long time, a flash crash followed by a quick rebound, and they still call it a system crash... Don't follow the trend, looking at order book data is the right way. The quick rebound indicates that the chips haven't really dispersed, understand? It's completely normal for ETH to follow BTC, it's just about trading volume. The IQ tax is back again, a bunch of retail investors are scared and selling off. Liquidity gaps + liquidation cascades, this kind of drama happens every time. The key still depends on the distribution of holdings, don't let the headlines manipulate your mindset.

The media really should control their mouths and stop with these clickbait headlines, scaring newbies into daily losses. --- A flash crash is a flash crash; no matter how nicely you phrase it, it doesn't change the fact. It's mainly a liquidity issue. --- How fast the rebound is doesn't matter; what's important is who is taking those liquidation orders... --- I've seen this kind of thing too many times; next time, it's still the same formula. --- People who understand trading depth have long made a killing; most of those discussing this are still losing. --- Honestly, 90% of people don't even understand what the contract liquidation chain reactions are about. --- Should clickbait headlines be banned? I'm really fed up with it.
