According to the source, a 4% rise in ETH could force about $3B of short liquidations; traders should verify the exact liquidation levels on independent dashboards before acting (source: Coinglass; source: Hyblock Capital). Confirm whether large liquidation clusters sit within a 4% upside band by checking real-time liquidation heatmaps and cumulative liquidation levels (source: Coinglass; source: Hyblock Capital). If those clusters are present, short liquidations can cascade via forced market buys on perpetual swaps, often pushing price beyond initial triggers during high leverage conditions (source: Binance Futures documentation; source: Deribit Insights). Monitor funding rates flipping positive, declining open interest on green candles, and rising taker buy volume to validate a squeeze in progress (source: Coinglass; source: Binance Futures). Manage risk with reduced leverage, staggered take-profits above the identified clusters, and alerts at the specific heatmap levels to avoid slippage from sudden wicks (source: CME Group risk management guidance; source: Deribit).
