A liquidation occurs when a leveraged perpetual futures position is force-closed because the trader's margin can no longer cover unrealized losses. Long liquidations happen when price drops far enough to wipe out long-side margin; short liquidations happen on rapid upward moves. Liquidation cascades — where each liquidation pushes price further into the next tier of stops — are a core mechanic behind violent moves in crypto perpetual futures.
FAQs
The feed aggregates forced perpetual futures position closures across supported exchanges as they are reported.
A liquidation is a forced position reduction or closure when a trader's margin can no longer support the leveraged perpetual futures position under the venue's risk rules.
A long liquidation closes a leveraged long after adverse price movement, usually by selling. A short liquidation closes a leveraged short, usually by buying.
It is the biggest single reported forced close in the current feed. It can highlight an exceptional position, while aggregate totals show whether liquidations are broad across many traders.
A cascade occurs when forced orders move price enough to trigger additional margin failures and liquidations. Thin books and concentrated leverage can amplify the sequence.
No public feed can guarantee complete market-wide coverage. Exchanges expose different data, symbols, and reporting granularity, so the dashboard reflects supported venue events rather than every forced close in crypto.
