Liquidation Cluster Mapping
Liquidation cluster mapping is the process of identifying price levels where a significant number of trader positions are likely to be liquidated. In crypto, where high leverage is common, these clusters act as magnets for price action.
Market makers and sophisticated traders often use this data to push prices toward these clusters to trigger liquidations and capture the resulting liquidity. By mapping these levels, analysts can predict where volatility is likely to increase and where the market might find support or resistance.
It is a core part of order flow analysis and behavioral game theory in trading. This practice helps traders avoid being trapped in high-risk zones.
It provides a technical view of how leverage dynamics drive short-term price discovery.
