On November 18th, based on Coinglass data, if Bitcoin drops below $88,000, the cumulative intensity of long liquidation on mainstream CEXs will reach 829 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin surges above $91,000, the cumulative intensity of short liquidation on mainstream CEXs will reach 702 million. BlockBeats Notes: The liquidation chart does not precisely depict the number of contracts awaiting liquidation or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the significance of each liquidation cluster in relation to adjacent liquidation clusters, that is, intensity. Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what degree the asset price reaching a certain level will be impacted. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that when the price reaches that level, there will be a more intense reaction due to a liquidity avalanche.
