【Crypto World】The market is quite interesting right now. Data from the end of December shows that a group of traders have accumulated significant long leverage on coins like Solana, Zcash, and Chainlink. But here’s the problem—after entering January, these positions are all at risk of being liquidated.
The situation with SOL is the most tense. Last week, ETF fund inflows plummeted by 93%, leaving only $13.14 million entering the market. What does this indicate? Market enthusiasm for SOL is clearly waning. The already fragile long positions now resemble a sword hanging in the air.
ZEC tells a different story. It rose 70% in December, a substantial gain, but this also means profit-taking is piling up. Most importantly, on-chain data shows that large holders are quietly reducing their positions. Under these circumstances, any adjustment could turn into a collective liquidation.
The pressure on LINK comes from rising exchange reserves. What does this usually mean? A sign of potential sell-offs. When more coins are stored on exchanges, it often signals impending selling pressure.
Numbers speak: if LINK drops to $110, it could trigger over $880 million in liquidations; if ZEC falls to $466, it could cause chain reactions of over $78 million in liquidations. These are not imaginary figures—they represent real risk boundaries.

I will generate several comments with different styles:
---
**Comment 1:**
SOL is really hanging by a thread this time. A 93% inflow plunge—what does that mean? It just means nobody believes anymore.
---
**Comment 2:**
ZEC has risen 70%, and big players are still selling off. Isn’t this the classic prelude to a dump?
---
**Comment 3:**
Exchange reserves are climbing. I’m directly scared—this signal is way too obvious.
---
**Comment 4:**
Bull trap? Wake up, bro. The January liquidation wave has just begun.
---
**Comment 5:**
LINK is under immense pressure. Feels like something’s about to go wrong.
---
**Comment 6:**
Large holders reducing positions, capital inflow drying up, reserves skyrocketing—when these three happen together, isn’t that the death triangle?
---
**Comment 7:**
Does anyone still dare to leverage on SOL? Truly brave.

Haha, here we go again. This time it's SOL being harvested? The 93% plunge in ETF inflows—what does it mean? Retail investors are back as bagholders.
---
ZEC up 70%—it's time to run. Big players are secretly reducing their positions, and you're still sleepwalking.
---
LINK exchange reserves are rising... alright, this is another good opportunity for contrarian trading.
---
It's always the same routine—bull trap after bull trap. And what’s the result? Making money in the opposite direction, everyone.
---
January liquidation risk? I just want to know who is shorting these coins. I’m with whoever is.
---
SOL really can't be pushed up anymore. It feels like the second half of the year will be a big trap.
---
Leverage is the original sin. Don’t blame the market.

93% crash? Haha, this is the fate of the bulls. I’ve been saying that SOL is just a false hype...
ZEC whales are fleeing, and the bagholders are waiting to be crushed.
As for LINK’s exchange reserves... never mind, I don’t want to see my positions get liquidated.
This is the script for January, everyone. The liquidation season is here.
SOL is really in trouble now; no one is entering the market. Who will save you?
I should have been bearish on this wave from the start. It was so obvious.
ZEC whales signaling a run for the exits so clearly—why are people still chasing the high? Crazy.
LINK, you guys better take care of yourselves...
Bull trap, just like this. I got caught last time, but I’ve learned to be smarter this time.
Wait, could there be a reverse liquidation of shorts... No, retail investors aren’t that lucky.
Looking at these coins, I feel a bit scared. Luckily, I got out quickly.

Wait, is the 93% drop in SOL real? Feels like another pump and dump, I'm still hesitating whether to buy the dip.
ZEC surged 70% and was immediately cashed out by big players. Luckily, I didn't chase the high and avoided a disaster.
The reserve fund of this exchange for LINK is rising... it's a bit scary, feels like it's going to collapse.
Does this wave of liquidations feel like it's coming again?
Stop talking, I've already lost so much. Surviving in January is already good.
Is SOL really cursed? Or is the market fooling us again?
Big players in ZEC are quietly fleeing, retail investors are losing heavily, same old story.
LINK looks a bit risky, better to wait and see.
This is the toughest test of patience, but on the other hand, could the liquidation wave be an opportunity to build positions?
Here we go again? Feels like every day there's a warning that certain coins are about to crash.

Is this the same routine again? The 93% inflow into SOL crashing definitely can't hold up, leverage traders probably can't sleep at night.
I've long noticed that large holders are reducing their positions in ZEC. After a 70% increase, big fish are inevitably fleeing, and retail investors are left to pick up the pieces.
Whenever the reserve fund of this exchange for LINK rises, I know it's about to crash. It's always the same trick.
This wave of liquidations will probably harvest another batch of retail investors. Let's wait and see the bloodbath in January.
SOL really disappointed me. It was hyped so much, and this is the result?
