About $6.79 million in Binance futures positions were liquidated in the past hour. Longs accounted for 44.4% ($3.01 million in long positions / $3.77 million in short positions), and the largest liquidation was $AGT .
A question every beginner asks: How does liquidation happen?
Maintenance margin is the minimum margin required to keep a position from being liquidated. The larger the position, the higher the required margin ratio generally is.

Don’t chase a trade during the most volatile moment. Wait for the price action to play out before deciding.
