⚡️ Trading Liquidation Spikes with Rules
Liquidations show where leveraged traders were forced out.
Longs liquidated → forced selling.
Shorts liquidated → forced buying.
After a strong flush, price often stops moving cleanly in one direction and starts looking for balance.
📌 What matters
A liquidation spike alone is not enough. The setup needs context:
1️⃣ Which side was hit
2️⃣ Liquidations as % of OI
3️⃣ Distance from VWAP
4️⃣ Volume expansion
5️⃣ CVD reaction
6️⃣ OI growth or flush
7️⃣ Price reaction after the spike
📊 Why % of OI matters
A large liquidation number can look impressive, but % of OI shows whether the event actually removed meaningful leverage from that coin.
🟢 Long recovery
Downside flush, long liquidations, cooled RSI, volume spike, buyer reaction on CVD, first push back up.
🔴 Pullback after shorts get liquidated
Overheated move, short liquidations, elevated RSI, volume spike, seller reaction on CVD, first rejection lower.
