$ETH A $1.08 million long position in perpetual futures was liquidated intraday, with the price around 1900.34.
Let’s use this figure to explain liquidations.
Maintenance margin is the minimum margin required to keep a position from being liquidated. The larger the position’s notional value, the higher the required margin ratio tends to be.
Don’t use leverage to try to recover losses; this often marks the start of a series of liquidations.
Extreme readings usually point to greater volatility. That’s when you should reduce your position, not add to it.
