+## 🚀 Advanced Cache Invalidation
+
+SmartCache provides powerful **cache invalidation features** for complex applications:
+
+### 🔗 Dependency Tracking & Cascade Invalidation
+
+Create cache hierarchies where invalidating a parent automatically clears all dependent children:
+
+```php
+// Create dependencies
+SmartCache::dependsOn('user_posts', 'user_data');
+SmartCache::dependsOn('user_stats', 'user_data');
+
+// When user_data is invalidated, user_posts and user_stats are automatically cleared
+SmartCache::invalidate('user_data');
+```
+
+### 🎯 Pattern-Based Invalidation
+
+Clear multiple cache keys using **wildcards and regex patterns**:
+
+```php
+// Wildcard patterns
+SmartCache::flushPattern('user_*');          // Clear all user-related keys
+SmartCache::flushPattern('api_response_*');  // Clear all API cache
+
+// Regex patterns (advanced)
+SmartCache::flushPattern('/user_\d+_profile/'); // Clear user profiles with numeric IDs
+```
+
+### 🏷️ Model-Based Auto-Invalidation
+
+Automatically clear cache when **Eloquent models change**:
+
+```php
+use SmartCache\Traits\CacheInvalidation;
+
+class User extends Model
+{
+    use CacheInvalidation;
+    
+    public function getCacheKeysToInvalidate(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            "user_{$this->id}_profile",
+            "user_{$this->id}_stats",
+            'users_list_*'
+        ];
+    }
+}
+
+// Cache automatically clears when user is updated/deleted
+$user = User::find(123);
+$user->name = 'New Name';
+$user->save(); // Related cache keys automatically invalidated!
+```
