Record Liquidation refers to an instance where an unprecedented volume of leveraged trading positions in financial markets, particularly cryptocurrency derivatives, are forcibly closed due to significant price movements. This event occurs when market prices reach a point where traders’ collateral is insufficient to cover potential losses. Such large-scale liquidations can exacerbate market volatility and lead to cascading price declines. It signals extreme market stress.
Context
News reports frequently highlight Record Liquidation events as a key indicator of heightened market risk and significant price corrections in the cryptocurrency sector. These occurrences often coincide with major market downturns or unexpected macroeconomic shifts. Analysts examine these liquidation cascades to understand market sentiment and the leverage levels present in the digital asset trading landscape.
The crypto market experienced its largest-ever liquidation, wiping out $19 billion in leveraged positions, triggered by new US tariffs on Chinese imports.
