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. This was a record intraday swing since the market turmoil in April, causing more than $2 trillion in market value to evaporate from the day's peak. The index closed below the 100-day moving average for the first time in months, and the VIX fear index jumped above 26.
This violent reversal occurred against the backdrop of Nvidia's release of a historic financial report, driving traders crazy as they sought explanations. Various theories emerged. Some

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.

Summary of This Round of Downtrend Views: Bitcoin Final Bottom Forecast as Low as $75,000
November 21st. After Bitcoin experienced its first drop below $90,000 in nearly 7 months, it has continued to decline for several days without showing any signs of recovery. When will the downtrend cease, and at what price range will the ultimate bottom be reached? BlockBeats has compiled the following key analysis points before and after this round of decline:
Placeholder VC partner Chris Burniske stated that the characteristics of a market top have emerged. He intends to re-enter Bitcoin when it reaches $75,000 or lower. The market has been enduring the impact of the sharp drop on October 11th, making it difficult to quickly generate sustained buying pressure. The monthly charts of BTC and ETH show some signs of cracking but are still within the "top range." Meanwhile, the decline in MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock price and the frequent warning signals in the gold and credit markets indicate that a broader asset adjustment is imminent.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said that Bitcoin m
