# Liquidation Events

**The Liquidation Events panel** streams real-time forced position closures from major crypto derivatives exchanges directly into your [TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/) workspace. It helps you spot liquidation cascades, squeeze conditions, and liquidity sweeps without leaving the chart.

### Live Data Feed

The table updates continuously as exchanges publish new liquidation prints, allowing you to:

> * See **bursts** of clustered liquidations during volatile moves.
> * Track **momentum continuation** after a cascade begins.
> * Gauge whether pressure is **one-sided** (mostly BUY or SELL liquidations) or mixed.

### Use Cases

> * **Identify squeezes & cascades**: Rapid sequences of BUY (short) or SELL (long) liquidations often precede extension or exhaustion.
> * **Confirm liquidity sweeps**: Spikes in liquidations near key levels validate that stops were triggered.
> * **Add confluence to entries/exits**: Align prints with order-flow tools, OB levels, or trend signals.
> * **Risk awareness**: Stand aside (or tighten risk) when the tape shows accelerating liquidation clusters.
