According to Coinglass data, if Bitcoin breaks through $83,000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will reach $560 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $79,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major CEXs will hit $477 million. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of pending liquidations or the precise value of liquidated contracts. The bars on these charts instead represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—i.e., their intensity. Thus, the chart shows the degree of impact when the underlying asset’s price reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price hits that level, it will trigger a stronger reaction driven by liquidity waves.
