⚡ Liquidation Cascades: How Not to Hand Over Your Deposit
A liquidation cascade begins when forced exits take control over the tape.
Candles expand, liquidations rise, open interest drops fast, and margin pressure spreads through the market. Averaging in that zone often kills the account faster than the move itself.
⚠️ Averaging
Adding into a falling candle increases exposure while the wipeout may still be active.
If open interest keeps dropping and liquidations come in waves, your average entry becomes secondary. Position size, free margin, and the ability to survive the next impulse decide the outcome.
🛡 Partial hedge
When a position is already under pressure, a partial hedge can reduce the load.
It gives time, cuts emotional pressure, and removes the need to close at the worst part of the move.
📍 Where entries appear
Local bounce zones usually show up after leverage has been cleared:
heavy liquidations on the asset;
open interest drop of 0.5–1% or more;
forced positions removed from the market;
price slowing after the impulse.
Entering before that is gambling. After the leverage flush, the setup has market structure behind it: part of the crowd is already out, open interest has been cleaned up, and pressure starts losing speed.

During a cascade, blind rescue trades are expensive. Watch where the market removes leverage first. Then look for the bounce with normal size, no hero mode, no risk inflation.
