Trader takeaway:
High liquidation volumes signal extreme volatility. During these windows, market makers often hunt liquidity — price can spike or dip to trigger clustered stop losses, then reverse. If you're trading leveraged, this is the worst time to be overleveraged. Use this data to understand sentiment, not as a direct buy/sell signal.
