COINOTAG, citing Coinglass data, outlines two Bitcoin scenarios. A move above $106,000 could trigger about $563 million in short liquidations on mainstream CEXs, while a dip under $100,000 might unleash as much as $1.4 billion in long liquidations. These figures signal potential liquidity stress rather than exact contract counts, reflecting current margin dynamics.
The accompanying liquidation chart conveys relative importance rather than precise metrics: bars denote the intensity of each liquidation cluster relative to neighbors. A higher liquidation bar implies a deeper liquidity cascade and a more pronounced market reaction if those price levels are reached, underscoring order-book depth fragility near key anchors.
For risk managers and active traders, the takeaway is clear: monitor price thresholds around the six-figure level and employ disciplined risk controls, such as position sizing, risk limits, and hedging, to mitigate potential cascading liquidations in volatile crypto markets.
