Liquidations
A liquidation is a forced market order: long liquidations sell, short liquidations buy. In clusters they become fuel — and the chart patterns they leave are among the most mechanical in crypto.
Cascade into support
Longs liquidate in a chain straight into a thick bid wall. When the red circles stop appearing and the wall holds, the fuel is spent — spring loaded bounce.
Invalidated when the wall gives way while circles keep printing.
Squeeze fuel
A breakout leg dotted with green circles: shorts are being force-bought all the way up. As long as fresh clusters print, the leg feeds itself.
Fades when green clusters stop while price stalls.
Post-flush fade
One giant cluster, a violent wick, then silence. The forced flow is done; price mean-reverts toward where the move started. Trade the exhaustion, not the panic.
Invalidated if a second cluster prints at the same level.
