COINOTAG News, citing Coinglass data on December 26, flags a defined Bitcoin liquidity risk at pivotal price thresholds. If BTC falls below $87,000, the cumulative long liquidation pressure on mainstream CEXs would reach about $763 million, underscoring a material liquidity stress point for traders.
On the upside, a move above $90,000 could drive the aggregated short liquidation across major CEXs to roughly $402 million, signaling potential market activity as price levels are tested.
The accompanying COINOTAG note clarifies that the liquidation chart depicts relative intensity across clusters rather than precise contract counts. A higher liquidation bar implies a more intense price reaction, driven by a liquidity cascade when the asset hits that threshold.
