On March 13th, COINOTAG reported that data from Coinglass indicates significant levels of potential market volatility for Bitcoin. Should Bitcoin dip below $79,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major centralized exchanges (CEX) could reach a staggering $239 million. Conversely, a climb above $84,000 could trigger a massive wave of short liquidations, amounting to approximately $316 million across the same platforms.
It’s crucial to note that the liquidation chart illustrates not the precise number of contracts at risk but rather the intensity of liquidation clusters. These bars signify how each cluster compares to nearby ones in terms of liquidity pressure. Consequently, when Bitcoin approaches key price levels, a higher intensity reading suggests the potential for drastic market reactions, often due to liquidity cascades that can exacerbate price movements.
