Bitcoin at Key Levels: $7.13B Short Liquidations on Major CEXs If It Breaks 90k, vs. $5.75B Long Liquidations at 86k

Bitcoin price dynamics are highlighted by new data from Coinglass, showing that a breakout above $90,000 could trigger a substantial short liquidation wave across mainstream CEXs, estimated at $7.13 billion. By contrast, a slide below $86,000 would push long liquidation pressure toward about $5.75 billion, underscoring how rapid moves heighten liquidity risk.

COINOTAG notes that the liquidation chart measures cluster significance rather than precise contract counts. The vertical bars reflect the relative impact of each liquidation cluster; higher liquidity cascade bars signal a stronger market reaction as price approaches defined levels. Traders should incorporate these thresholds into risk management and scenario planning to navigate potential volatility around key price points.
