Could you please elaborate on the concept of cryptocurrency liquidation? I'm curious to understand what it involves and how it affects traders. In my research, I've heard the term being mentioned but there seems to be a lack of clear explanations. Could you explain in simple terms what happens during a liquidation event, what triggers it, and the potential consequences for those involved? Additionally, I'm interested in knowing if there are any strategies traders can employ to mitigate the risks associated with liquidation in the cryptocurrency market. Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this topic.

Liquidation occurs in a scenario where a trader's leveraged position is forcibly closed by the exchange.

When this happens, and the trader fails to meet the margin requirements to maintain the position, the exchange will liquidate the position.
