As of February 14th, per Coinglass data: - If Bitcoin breaks above $72,000, total short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEX) will hit $474 million. - Conversely, a drop below $68,000 would trigger $859 million in total long liquidation intensity across major CEX. **BlockBeats Note**: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts being liquidated. Instead, the bars reflect the *relative importance* of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—this is what’s defined as "intensity." In short, the chart shows how significantly the underlying asset’s price will be impacted at specific levels: a taller liquidation bar means a price hit to that level will spark a more intense reaction driven by a liquidity cascade.
