Goldman Sachs Warning: "Extreme Hedging" Panic Lurking Behind US Stock Market Plunge
On November 21st, John Flood, a partner at Goldman Sachs, pointed out that the significant reversal of the US stock market on Thursday demonstrated that Nvidia's remarkable performance did not convey the anticipated "risk-off" signal to traders. Instead, it prompted them to hastily build defenses to avoid further losses.
The US stock market opened strongly on Thursday morning but quickly took a turn for the worse. In the first hour of trading, the S&P 500 index surged by 1.9%. However, it reversed into a decline before 1 p.m. local time.

If Bitcoin drops below $84,000, the mainstream CEX long liquidation pressure will reach $1.185 billion
On November 21st, based on Coinglass data, if Bitcoin drops beneath $84,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity of mainstream CEX will amount to $1.185 billion.
Conversely, if Bitcoin goes above $88,000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity of mainstream CEX will reach $278 million.
BlockBeats Notes: The liquidation chart does not disclose the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the precise value of the contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the significance of each liquidation cluster in relation to adjacent liquidation clusters, that is, the intensity.
Consequently, the liquidation chart shows the extent to which the asset price will be impacted when it attains a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that when the price reaches that level, a more intense reaction will be triggered due to a liquidity cascade.
