As of March 21, Coinglass data shows: - If Bitcoin breaks above $73,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $834 million. - Conversely, a drop below $69,000 will trigger $940 million in cumulative long liquidation intensity across major CEXs. **Note from BlockBeats:** Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the precise value of those contracts. Instead, the bars on these charts represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—this is defined as "intensity." In short, the chart indicates how significantly the price will react when it hits a given level. A taller "liquidation bar" means the price will respond more intensely to a liquidity cascade once that level is reached.
