**February 23** Coinglass data shows Bitcoin’s total short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) would hit $966 million if the token breaks above $68,000. Conversely, a drop below $64,000 would trigger $750 million in long liquidation intensity across the same top CEXs. **BlockBeats Note** Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of contracts at risk of liquidation or their precise value. Instead, the bars represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring clusters—this is defined as "intensity." The chart illustrates how strongly Bitcoin’s price will react at specific levels. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more intense price response from a liquidity cascade when that level is hit.

February 23 — Lebanese bankers and politicians are weighing selling or leasing a portion of the central bank’s sizeable gold reserves to rescue the country’s ailing economy, according to the Financial Times. The value of these reserves has surged amid rising gold prices. The Lebanese central bank holds more than 280 tons of gold — the second-largest stockpile in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia, an unusual amount for a small nation. The bank began building these reserves in the 1940s and 1950s to shore up the Lebanese pound’s value. Since 2019, Lebanon has been grappling with an economic collapse, but no side has reached a consensus on a solution. However, the public has strongly opposed selling the country’s accumulated gold reserves, viewing it as a stopgap that would benefit a few at the expense of the many.
