Sun made these transfers after the Huobi token (HT) had a flash crash on Thursday. The token plummeted from a 24-hour-high of $4.81 to a low of $0.31, a drop of 93% in its price. However, a netizen tweeted that the HT-USDT pair recorded sales worth $2M compared to just $600k of buys on Huobi during the five minutes leading up to the crash.
Sun who is a major shareholder of the Huobi exchange stated to sources:
The recent market fluctuations and the leveraged liquidations were caused by a few users triggering a cascade of forced liquidations in the spot and HT contract markets.
Furthermore, while apologizing on behalf of the Huobi exchange, Sun tweeted:
We deeply apologize for the impact of the leveraged liquidation on the market caused by a few users, and in order to further improve the multi-currency liquidity of the @HuobiGlobal platform, we will set up a liquidity fund with an investment of 100 million US dollars.— H.E.

Meanwhile, when considering the 1-day chart below, HT has been fluctuating within a descending triangle. After breaking the triangle, HT started consolidating. Interestingly, the death cross didn’t seem to have an effect on HT when the 50-day MA crossed the 200-day MA from above.

Despite taking a great fall, HT was able to bounce right back to its usual trading area. Moreover, the token is below the lower Bollinger band, hence, there could be a correction in the future. As such, this could be a perfect entry point for those going long. But the question is, will HT surge in the future? Or are there a few more twists to unwind?
