Liquidazione
Chiusura forzata di posizione con leva per margine insufficiente.
When a trader's leveraged position moves against them enough that their remaining margin can no longer cover the maintenance requirement, the exchange forcibly closes (liquidates) the position. The liquidation price depends on leverage, entry price, and margin mode.
Liquidations can cascade. When a large cluster of long positions gets liquidated, the forced selling pushes the price down further, triggering more liquidations in a chain reaction. These cascades can cause flash crashes that move the market 10-20% in minutes.
Monitoring aggregate liquidation data across exchanges gives insight into where leverage is concentrated and which price levels could trigger cascading events. Major liquidation spikes often mark local bottoms or tops as leveraged participants are flushed out.
Liquidation events drive some of the most volatile moves in crypto. Understanding where liquidation clusters sit helps anticipate sudden price dislocations.

FAQ
Can I avoid liquidation?
Use lower leverage, set stop-losses before the liquidation price, and maintain adequate margin. Isolated margin limits potential loss to the position margin.
What happens to my funds when liquidated?
The exchange closes your position at market price. Any remaining margin after covering losses is returned. Some exchanges have insurance funds to cover shortfalls.
What is a liquidation cascade?
It is a chain reaction where one set of liquidations forces the price into another cluster, triggering more liquidations and amplifying the move.
Are liquidation data public?
Some exchanges report aggregate liquidation data via APIs. Third-party aggregators compile this into market-wide liquidation feeds.
