Bitcoin price fluctuations are closely related to the liquidation pressure in the derivatives market. If BTC drops below $90,000, longs will face approximately $502 million in concentrated liquidations; if it breaks through $93,000, the short liquidation pressure will reach $767 million. The liquidation intensity indicates the liquidity response in different price ranges.

【BlockBeats】According to the latest statistics from the on-chain data tracking platform, Bitcoin’s price fluctuations are closely related to the liquidation pressure in the derivatives market.

If BTC falls below the psychological threshold of $90,000, long positions on mainstream centralized exchanges will face a wave of concentrated liquidations, with the total liquidation strength potentially reaching $502 million. This means that shorts may encounter significant liquidity shocks at this level.

Conversely, if Bitcoin advances and breaks through $93,000, the chain reaction of short liquidations will intensify—liquidation pressure on shorts will accumulate to $767 million.

It should be noted that the concept of “strength” in liquidation data is very important. The numbers on the histogram are not precise counts of contracts pending liquidation or the value of contracts being liquidated, but rather measure the density of liquidations at each price range. Simply put, the taller the bar, the stronger the market reaction caused by liquidity waves when the price reaches that level. These key levels often serve as support and resistance for short-term trading.

Damn, there are so many liquidation orders between 90,000 and 93,000, no wonder the recent fluctuations have been so intense.

Between 90,000 and 93,000, there is 767 million in between. This wave of the market is incredible...

The range from 90,000 to 93,000 is really unsustainable now, with both bulls and bears licking blood at the edge of the knife. One liquidation of 500 million, another over 700 million, no one can escape this wave.

The 90,000 threshold is really tough; a liquidation volume of 500 million hitting down must be quite painful.
