Liquidations are forced exits. When a leveraged position runs out of margin the exchange closes it at market, which pushes price further the same way and triggers the next batch.
That cascade is why moves overshoot. A large long liquidation does not mean sellers arrived with conviction. It means buyers were forced out.
We cover these events because they mark where leverage was sitting and where it is likely to rebuild. Open interest resetting after a flush often matters more than the flush itself.
Where we published a directional read with the story, it is shown against it below. Leverage magnifies losses as easily as gains. Nothing here is financial advice, and trading carries risk, including the loss of your capital.
