Per Coinglass data as of April 24, Bitcoin’s cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) would hit $647 million if the token breaks above $79,000. Conversely, a drop below $77,000 would trigger $597 million in cumulative long liquidation intensity on those same major CEXs. **Note from BlockBeats**: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts set to be liquidated. Instead, the bars reflect how significant each liquidation cluster is compared to adjacent clusters — in other words, its intensity. Accordingly, these charts illustrate how much the underlying asset’s price will be impacted when it hits a specific level: a taller liquidation bar signals a stronger price reaction driven by a liquidity cascade.
