📊 Insights: Ep. 3 — Liquidations & Cascades

When markets move too fast, someone always gets wiped out.

In crypto, leveraged positions are everywhere — and when traders overextend, exchanges automatically close their positions to prevent deeper losses. This chain reaction is called a liquidation cascade.

It starts small: a drop in price forces a few leveraged longs to close. Their exits push the price even lower, triggering more stops — until the entire market is caught in a feedback loop. The same works in reverse during short squeezes.

👍 Smart traders and smarter systems don’t fight cascades. They track where the crowd’s leverage is stacked and ride the volatility instead.
