What Is a Liquidation Price? How Should You Understand the Relationship Between Maintenance Margin, Unrealized Losses, and Forced Liquidation?

In crypto contract trading, many people focus only on changes in profit and loss after opening a position, but overlook a key question: At what price could the position be forcibly liquidated? Understanding the liquidation price helps traders assess risk in advance and avoid losing control due to insufficient margin.

First, what is a liquidation price?

🤖 After AI tech stocks plunged, will the next wave of opportunity be in applications?

U.S. stocks saw a sharp correction overnight, with chip, server, and data center stocks all under pressure. AI’s high valuations are once again being put to the test.

But the AI story isn’t over. The market’s focus is shifting:
From “who is investing the most in computing power” to “who can actually make money with AI.”

🔍 Google: Can AI search and advertising generate more revenue?
☁️ Microsoft, Amazon: Can cloud computing and AI services continue to deliver growth?
🚀 Meta, Palantir, Oracle: Can AI commercialization open up new profit opportunities?

If capital shifts from AI computing power to applications, who do you think is most likely to rebound first?
Join #美股史诗级抛售 on Gate Square to share your observations on AI stocks, market outlook, or trading strategies.

🎁 The Gate AI Applications Campaign is also underway. Trade designated AI application and cloud service stocks and complete tasks for a chance to enter a lucky draw and compete for the leaderboard. You could win up to 1,888 USDT in Google stock trial funds.

Six hours of silence. $BTC

From entry to exit, there were only four sentences.
That’s the point of trade signals— not to make you watch the charts every second, but to let you know when you don’t need to do anything. $SOL

How to Find BTC Support and Resistance Levels? Master 4 Practical Methods!

In BTC trading, support and resistance are among the most fundamental and practical concepts in technical analysis. But many beginners simply draw a few horizontal lines and assume they have found the key levels. In reality, support and resistance levels that are useful as reference points need to be assessed by considering price structure, trading volume, and market reactions.

First, look at historical highs and lows. If BTC repeatedly rises to a certain area and then pulls back, that area may form resistance; if the

How do you create a BTC trading plan? Build a truly actionable trading process!

In BTC trading, many people watch the market and study indicators every day, and often adjust their views based on market changes. But when it comes time to trade, they don’t know where to enter, how much they can afford to lose before exiting, or when to stop trading.

The problem often isn’t a lack of analytical tools, but the absence of a complete trading plan.

First, determine the market direction. Before opening a position, observe BTC’s higher-timeframe trend and decide whether the market is rising, falling

Tonight at 21:30, October nonfarm payrolls and unemployment rate data are due. The expectations in this set of figures show a striking contrast.

First, nonfarm payrolls: the previous reading was just 29k due to hurricanes and strikes, while this time the forecast is 65k. Although that’s more than double, 65k is actually not particularly high by normal U.S. economic data standards. Tonight, the key may not be how strong the number is, but how much it has recovered.

Next, the unemployment rate: the forecast of 4.20% is unchanged from the previous reading, reflecting the market’s relatively ste
