A weekend sell-off in EdgeX's Nasdaq 100-linked perpetual futures resulted in $13 million in liquidations, according to on-chain data. The sell-off was triggered by a newly created wallet executing a six-hour time-weighted average price (TWAP) strategy to short 398 XYZ100 contracts, causing the price to drop over 3.5%. Significant losses were reported, with one trader losing $7.4 million and another $2.7 million. The incident has sparked discussions among traders on X about the potential for market manipulation during off-hours, as the XYZ100 index fell nearly 4% without any significant macroeconomic or equity news to justify the movement.
