<li>Liquidations were one of the main talking points during the 2021 and 2022 cycles — long being liquidated for the better two years.</li>
<li>Many reasons liquidations were plenty in 2021 compared to 2022 were due to leverage, whale activity, and market sentiment.</li>
<li>As 2021 was a bull market, market sentiment was strong to the upside, and prices continued to increase. Hence, long liquidations on small pullbacks were obliterated.</li>
<li>Into 2022, a bear market, and prices continued to go down 75% from their all-time high, investors wanted to go long at any moment; however, they continued to get burnt.</li>
<li>Into 2023, it has been a mix of short and long liquidations; shorts did take pole position in 2023 and were on the wrong side. But now you can see liquidations are very similar in size, suggesting a neutral market.</li>
