Introduction: Crypto liquidation means the process of forcibly closing a trader’s positions in the cryptocurrency market. In the market setting, this happens when a trader’s margin account can no longer support their open positions. Of course, this can be due to significant losses or not enough margin strength.

Notably, the Crypto exchange reserves the right to initiate a Liquidation process immediately if a trader’s account falls below the required margin level. The result? The  trader’s positions will be closed abruptly at the current market price. This is targeted as an effort to cover losses on the trader’s side. However, It’s important to note that crypto liquidation can result in significant financial losses for the trader.
