Because every position depends on margin, even small price movements can push thousands of traders toward liquidation at the same time. When a liquidation happens, the system automatically closes the position, which adds immediate selling pressure to the market.

This chain reaction is known as a “liquidation cascade,” and it is why sudden drops in the crypto market often create very large, very fast losses for leveraged traders.
