Liquidation Radar

With liquidation data, first look at who was forced out.

$BTC Shorts were squeezed more noticeably, but the first candle after liquidations doesn’t define the trend. A pullback that holds is more meaningful.

$WLD This move was mainly driven by passive short covering. Don’t mistake the speed of the squeeze for a trend.

$ETH It was mainly short positions that got wiped out. The higher the liquidation share, the more easily liquidations can amplify a price surge.

After short-term shorts are wiped out, don’t focus only on the first candle. It only has staying power if the pullback holds.
