Liquidation Volume
Liquidation volume measures the value or quantity of leveraged positions liquidated over a specified period. It may be separated into long and short liquidations.
Why it matters to you
A sudden increase in liquidation volume can indicate that leveraged positioning is being rapidly removed from the market. Comparing liquidation volume with price, OI and trading volume can help traders understand the scale of forced positioning changes.
