Binance futures liquidations totaled about $2.17 million over the past hour, with long positions accounting for 66.5%. The largest liquidation was $ORDER ($635,000).
Let’s break this number down.
When prices rise or fall sharply, liquidations often cluster: one batch of positions gets closed, pushing prices further and triggering the next batch.
When liquidation amounts are very large, market sentiment is often intense too. Rushing to place an order at such times can mean chasing the market at its most volatile point.
Cross-checking multiple data points is more reliable than looking at just one, but even more indicators can’t provide a definitive conclusion.
