As of February 21, Coinglass data shows total short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $864 million if Bitcoin surges above $69,000. Conversely, a Bitcoin drop below $67,000 would trigger $419 million in total long liquidation intensity on those platforms. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of pending liquidation contracts or their precise value. Instead, the bars represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—i.e., "intensity." In short, these charts show how strongly the underlying asset’s price will react when it hits a specific level. A taller "liquidation bar" means the price will face a more intense reaction from a liquidity cascade once it reaches that threshold.
