According to data from Huoxun Finance, if Bitcoin falls below $68,000, the cumulative liquidation intensity of long positions on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will reach $1.068 billion; conversely, if Bitcoin breaks through $72,000, the cumulative liquidation intensity of short positions on major CEXs will reach $1.075 billion. It should be noted that liquidation intensity does not represent the precise number of contracts pending liquidation or the precise value of liquidated contracts. It reflects the importance of each liquidation cluster relative to its neighboring liquidation clusters—that is, the degree of market impact when the underlying price reaches a certain level. Higher liquidation intensity means a stronger market reaction due to changes in liquidity after the price reaches that level.
