A liquidation is the exchange force-closing a leveraged trade when margin runs out. That order hits the book and can push price into the next stop.

So far today (UTC), about $125M in crypto futures were liquidated across major exchanges โ€” roughly 76% longs. $BTC alone saw about $36M, mostly after September CPI printed hot at 3.7%.

One forced close becomes the next. That is the cascade.
