As of Dec. 27, Coinglass data shows that if Ethereum (ETH) breaks above $3,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $762 million. Conversely, if ETH falls below $2,850, cumulative long liquidation intensity will reach $630 million. Note from BlockBeats: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on these charts instead reflect the relative significance of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring ones — meaning their intensity. In other words, the chart shows how strongly the underlying asset’s price will react when it reaches a specific level: higher bars signal a stronger price response driven by a liquidity surge once that level is hit.
