On February 27th, Coinglass data shows that mainstream centralized exchanges (CEXs) could face $1.028 billion in cumulative long liquidation intensity if Bitcoin drops below $65,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin climbs above $69,000, those same CEXs would see $1.012 billion in cumulative short liquidation intensity. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of contracts or their total liquidation value. Instead, the bars on these charts represent how significant each liquidation cluster is relative to nearby clusters—this is what’s referred to as "intensity." Put simply, the chart illustrates how strongly the underlying asset’s price will react when it hits a specific level: a taller liquidation bar means the price will experience a more intense response due to a surge in liquidity when that level is reached.

On February 27, Nate Geraci—president of The ETF Store—said ETF investors have overall shown "diamond hands" amid Bitcoin’s recent downturn. Since Bitcoin hit an all-time high in early October, roughly $6.5 billion has flowed out of physically-backed Bitcoin ETFs. But compared to the ~$55 billion that poured into this category since January 2024, those outflows are a drop in the bucket. Over the past three days, there’s been another net inflow of more than $1 billion. For long-term Bitcoin investors, a 50% retracement is practically routine. Right now, though, even new ETF investors don’t seem to be panicking. This isn’t Bitcoin’s first 50% drop—and it won’t be the last. Clearly, ETF investors aren’t panic-selling; instead, they’re buying the dip.
