The data indicates cumulative short liquidation intensity could reach $523 million if Bitcoin rises above $66,000, while cumulative long liquidation intensity could reach $658 million if it falls below $63,000. BlockBeats said the liquidation map reflects relative cluster intensity rather than exact contract counts or precise liquidation value, meaning traders use it as an indicator of where leveraged positions may be vulnerable rather than a definitive measure of liquidation size.
