Summary
Bitcoin’s recent move toward $90,000 triggered over $110 million in short liquidations, while new Coinglass data indicates further high-risk liquidity zones ahead. If Bitcoin falls below $90,000, cumulative long liquidation strength across major centralized exchanges could reach $1.07 billion. Conversely, a move above $92,000 could trigger approximately $417 million in short liquidations, underscoring heightened sensitivity around these price thresholds.
