A quick note: In the past hour, Binance futures liquidations totaled about $4.15 million. Long positions accounted for 49.2%, and the largest liquidation was $BTC ($1.35 million).
People often ask what liquidation data means, so here’s how I understand it.
Liquidations of long positions happen when leveraged bets on rising prices are forcibly closed, usually when prices fall. Short positions are liquidated in the opposite situation, typically when prices rise.
A cluster of liquidations means leverage on that side has been flushed out. Some believe the market may calm down temporarily afterward, but this isn’t a rule.
It’s safer to look for confirmation across multiple indicators rather than relying on just one, though even more indicators can’t give you a definitive answer.

Stay rational, and don’t get carried away.
