Bitcoin Liquidation Alert: Drop Under $115K Could Trigger $1.279B Long Liquidations While Rally Above $117K Spurs Just $41.8M Shorts

According to Coinglass data cited by COINOTAG on September 17, a drop in Bitcoin below $115,000 corresponds to a cumulative long liquidation intensity of approximately $1.279 billion on major CEXs, while a rise above $117,000 is associated with a cumulative short liquidation intensity near $41.8129 million.

COINOTAG clarifies that the liquidation chart reflects relative intensity across price clusters rather than exact contract counts or notional values; each bar indicates the comparative weight of a liquidation cluster versus adjacent clusters and the potential market impact at that price level.

For market participants, these liquidation metrics offer actionable input for risk management, informing assessments of order-book liquidity, margin exposure and the susceptibility to liquidity cascades at key price thresholds without implying directional forecasts.
