According to Coinglass data, a break above $3,200 for Ethereum would align with an estimated cumulative short liquidation intensity of about $764 million on mainstream CEXs. Conversely, a drop below $3,000 would imply a projected long liquidation pressure near $973 million across major exchanges, signaling heightened intra-day risk for traders.
COINOTAG notes that the liquidation chart does not reveal exact contract counts or precise liquidation values. The chart’s bars represent the relative intensity of each liquidation cluster, i.e., how strongly price levels correlate with potential liquidity cascades.
Practitioners should monitor these thresholds as indicators of potential volatility and liquidity stress. The analysis underscores the importance of robust risk controls and scenario planning for crypto market participants and liquidity providers.
