What is Liquidations for Bitcoin?

How to read the Bitcoin Liquidations chart
Long liquidations cluster when Bitcoin falls quickly; short liquidations cluster when it rallies. A tall bar is a cascade, where forced selling or buying pushed price further and triggered more liquidations.
A large long-liquidation spike near a local low often marks capitulation, and a short-liquidation spike near a high often marks a squeeze. Neither is a signal on its own: check whether open interest recovered afterwards.
Exchange liquidation feeds can leave out some orders, so treat the totals as a lower bound rather than an exact count.
