SOURCE EVIDENCE
"outcomes can change dramatically over a small price range. Here, the underlying asset's movement between the low-$60,000s and mid-$60,000s translated into large notional exposure and rapid margin erosion."
"when margin is small relative to exposure, liquidation becomes a practical certainty rather than a remote tail risk."
