Methodology
Liquidation Cascades: Liquidation cascade analysis identifies price levels where clusters of leveraged positions would be force-closed. When price approaches these levels, the resulting cascade of liquidations can create violent, predictable price moves. The strategy positions ahead of anticipated cascade zones.
