The firm notes that during these episodes, \u201cthe forced closure of large positions generates massive market orders, further squeezing prices and triggering stop\u2011losses for additional positions,\u201d turning a local move into a structural flush of speculative capital.<\/p>\n<p>A similar pattern is visible in Bitcoin, where Coinglass describes current liquidation volumes as sitting in an \u201cExtreme range,\u201d signaling an intense phase of deleveraging that can rapidly flip market tone from euphoria to risk\u2011off.
