Liquidation or the forced closure of geared bets occurs when a trader’s attitude arrives shortly after the margin requirements set out in the exchange.
The marginal deficiency typically occurs when the market moves towards the trader’s position, causing their account to fall below the minimum maintenance margin. This asks the exchange to automatically close the position to prevent further losses and ensure that borrowed funds are recovered.
Virtually long liquidations cause a sudden increase in sales pressure, which pushes prices even lower, creating a cascading effect that can trigger additional liquidation. This negative feedback -loop tends to reinforce market volatility.
