Just woke up and realised I got liquidated overnight.

I was 3x long PEPE.

I lost everything I had.

I don't even have $1000 in my bank account but had $1M in binance.

I have been in crypto since 2017.

Today I lost everything.

Crypto Nerd moaned in his tweet. “I was 3x long PEPE. I lost everything I had. I don’t even have $1000 in my bank account but had $1M in Binance.”

The sudden and drastic loss serves as a stark reminder of the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market and the risks associated with leveraging positions. Despite Crypto Nerd’s years of experience in the industry, even seasoned traders are not immune to the potential pitfalls of high-risk trading strategies.

Pepe Coin Liquidation 

In the past 24 hours, 296,926 traders faced liquidation, resulting in a total of $939.54 million in losses, according to data from Coinglass. Among them, Pepe Coin suffered a collective liquidation of $8.77 million, with $7.42 million from long positions and $1.29 million from short positions.

Today’s losses are primarily attributed to the global market downturn and escalating geopolitical tensions. The PEPE price plummeted by 20% overnight, reaching $0.0000059, led by a significant surge in trading volume, reaching $1.32 billion.
