Bitcoin faces two key price levels: a drop below $94,000 will trigger $442 million in concentrated liquidations; if it holds above $96,000, the bearish pressure reaches $250 million. The liquidation data reflects the market impact, with taller bars indicating higher volatility.

【CryptoPush】According to on-chain data platform’s liquidation monitoring, Bitcoin is currently facing two key price pivot points.

If Bitcoin falls below $94,000, long positions on mainstream exchanges will undergo a wave of concentrated liquidations, with total liquidation strength reaching $4.42 billion. Conversely, if Bitcoin can hold above $96,000, then shorts should be cautious — the cumulative short liquidation pressure will reach $2.50 billion.

Many traders often ask, what do these liquidation data actually represent? In fact, the liquidation charts do not show the exact number of contract positions or the specific value being liquidated, but rather use the height of the bars to represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to its surroundings, which we call intensity.

In other words, the liquidation chart is telling you — when the price reaches a certain level, how much impact the market will experience. The taller the bar, the more intense the chain reaction of liquidations at that price point. Once triggered, liquidity waves can generate stronger volatility responses, which are often the behind-the-scenes drivers of short-term surges or crashes.
