Over the past 4 hours, Binance futures liquidations totaled about $14.72 million. Long positions accounted for 22.5%, and the largest liquidation was $BTC ($5.39 million).
Guys, what does getting liquidated mean? Here's the short version:
Maintenance margin is the minimum margin required to keep a position from being liquidated. The higher a position's notional value, the higher the required margin ratio usually is.
The often-mentioned “long squeeze” refers to a drop triggering liquidations of long positions, with forced selling pushing prices down further. A “short squeeze” refers to a rise triggering liquidations of short positions, with buybacks driving prices even higher.
With leveraged trading, first work out whether you can handle the worst-case scenario, then see what the signals are telling you.
I can be wrong too—make your own judgment.
