$ETH A $1.95 million short position was liquidated in the perpetual futures market during the day.
A newbie’s big question: What exactly does getting liquidated mean?
Maintenance margin is the minimum amount of margin required to keep a position from being liquidated. The larger the position’s notional value, the higher the required margin ratio usually is.
My rule as a crypto comedian: Keep leverage low enough to sleep soundly, and set stop-losses more reliably than an alarm clock.
The point of understanding an indicator is to avoid being misled by numbers—not to use it to predict whether prices will rise or fall.
