Market Notes | $BTC | $1.51 million in long liquidations
Definition: In isolated margin mode, liquidation only loses the margin allocated to that position; in cross margin mode, the entire account balance can be used to absorb losses.
A note on terminology: “longs liquidating longs” refers to a price drop triggering long liquidations, with the resulting sell orders pushing prices even lower. A “short squeeze” refers to a price rise forcing short liquidations, with buybacks pushing prices even higher.
Unusual data often signals more dramatic price swings. In these situations, it’s better to reduce position sizes rather than make a big bet.
