🐋 $SOL saw a $980,000 long position liquidated in perpetual contracts during the day.
Behind large liquidations, traders are usually using leverage they can’t withstand through market volatility.
In isolated margin mode, liquidation only loses the margin allocated to that position; in cross margin mode, the entire account balance is used to cover losses.
When liquidation amounts are large, market sentiment is often running high too. Rushing to open a position at such times can easily mean entering at the most volatile moment.
Cross-checking multiple data points is more reliable than looking at just one, but even more signals can’t provide a definitive conclusion.
