Bitcoin liquidation risks shift as Binance open interest reaches $8.15 billion

Bitcoin remains near price levels that could trigger large forced liquidations across major centralized exchanges, while derivatives data continue to point to crowded futures positioning. The latest CoinGlass data cited by ChainCatcher show that if Bitcoin breaks above $64,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major CEXs would reach $888 million, while a drop below $62,000 would put cumulative long liquidation intensity at $803 million. CoinGlass said its liquidation map does not show the exact number or value of contracts waiting to be liquidated, but rather the relative importance, or intensity, of nearby liquidation clusters and the likely market impact if price reaches those levels. Those figures update earlier readings in this story that showed $880.28 million in shorts at risk above $64,154 and $393.96 million in longs below $62,345, as well as wider-range snapshots showing $1.31 billion in cumulative long liquidations below $60,717, $1.307 billion in cumulative short liquidations above $66,479, and an earlier downside-skewed setup of about $516.39 million in longs below $62,859 versus about $209.26 million in shorts above $64,094. Separately, CryptoQuant community analyst BorisD said Binance open interest rose to $8.15 billion on Wednesday and that a 0.25 correlation between Bitcoin price and Binance open interest, after both fell on Thursday, suggests long positions built in the low $60,000 zone are being flushed out. CoinGlass had also shown $236 million in cross-crypto liquidations over 24 hours at the time of writing, while CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju said "the stars haven't aligned for a Bitcoin bull run just yet," citing onchain indicators still in bear territory.
