Ether is approaching price levels that could trigger heavy forced liquidations on major centralized exchanges, potentially amplifying volatility as leveraged positions are automatically closed. The newer Coinglass data, cited by ChainCatcher, indicates $923 million in cumulative long positions could be liquidated below $1,822, while $841 million in cumulative short positions could be liquidated above $2,005. An earlier data snapshot placed the corresponding thresholds at $1,809 for $734 million in long liquidations and $1,986 for $809 million in short liquidations.
