Liquidation cascade on 2026-10-22
On 2026-10-22 our detector flagged $102.73M 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.

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.
