Liquidation happens when a traderās leveraged position (borrowed money trade) is forced closed by the exchange because they ran out of margin.

Itās basically the marketās āforced stop-lossā ā and during high volatility, it can wipe out millions in hours.

Big liquidations often mark short-term tops or bottoms.
Smart traders track liquidation heatmaps to spot liquidity zones where reversals may happen.
