Liquidation cascade on 2026-10-14
On 2026-10-14 our detector flagged $92.68M of forced closures across 2 detected bursts. Everything below is read from the real liquidation feed, not estimated: these are closures the exchanges actually broadcast.
This page documents what was liquidated, not why the move started. A cascade is the amplifier, rarely the trigger.

How a day gets a page
Our detector reads the real liquidation tape in 30 minute buckets and flags a bucket when its total forced closures exceed the larger of 30 million USD and six times the trailing median bucket, so the bar moves with market conditions. A day gets a page only when at least one bucket cleared that bar. Quiet days have no page, which is why this archive is short and will stay honest as it grows.
