Market protection mode describes a state or set of measures implemented by a centralized or decentralized exchange to mitigate extreme market volatility and prevent cascading liquidations or market instability. These measures can include circuit breakers that halt trading, dynamic adjustments to margin requirements, or limitations on leverage. The objective is to safeguard market integrity and protect participants from excessive losses during periods of rapid price swings. This mode aims to restore order and stability.
