List of two key Bitcoin price levels: Comparative analysis of long and short liquidation intensities

OnChainDetective · 2026-01-09T05:50:18+00:00

Bitcoin price fluctuations have a significant impact on the futures market. A drop below $89,000 will trigger over $1.127 billion in liquidations, while a rise above $93,000 will lead to $960 million in short liquidations. The intensity of liquidations reflects the market impact of price volatility, and short-term traders should pay attention to key price levels.

【BlockBeats】Friends who have recently been paying attention to the contract market should have noticed that Bitcoin’s price fluctuations have indeed affected many positions. According to data, if Bitcoin falls below the $89,000 mark, the cumulative liquidation strength on mainstream exchanges for long positions will reach approximately 1.127 billion. Conversely, once Bitcoin rises above $93,000, the cumulative liquidation strength for short positions will reach 960 million.

Here’s a detail that many people tend to confuse. The bars on the liquidation data chart do not represent the exact number of contracts pending liquidation, nor the precise liquidation value, but rather measure the relative importance between different liquidation clusters—that is, the intensity.

From another perspective: when Bitcoin’s price reaches a certain level, what kind of impact will it have on the market? The taller the bar, the more intense the chain reaction of liquidations after the price reaches that point, and the greater the power of the liquidity wave. For short-term traders, these are absolute key levels of resistance and support that need close attention.

89,000 is really a dead end. Once it breaks, the long positions will all be sacrificed together. The 1.127 billion liquidation volume is no joke.

89,000 is about to be broken, and when that happens, the bulls will directly share in the 1.1 billion liquidation feast. 93,000 going up, and the bears will also have to pay tuition. These two levels are truly a bloody battle. Liquidation intensity, to put it simply, is about seeing who can smash whom out. Data and charts don't lie. Damn, we're about to start feeding the fish again. It's better to cut losses early. It sounds like this wave of volatility will either bring big profits or lead to liquidation. The middle position is the most uncomfortable.

ah, so we're talking about liquidation cascades again... statistically speaking, this is exactly how the 2017 bull run imploded once sentiment flipped. the chart patterns? uncanny resemblance to what we saw pre-march 2020 collapse honestly

Wavering between 89,000 and 93,000, it's really damn torturous.

Oh wow, comparing these two numbers, the bearish pressure is clearly much less than the bullish.

Between 89,000 and 93,000, how many people's dreams are trapped? To put it simply, they're just waiting to be liquidated.

The 89,000 level is truly a nightmare. If it really drops and the 1.127 billion long positions are liquidated... I won't watch anymore. Watching would only make me regret it.

Lines 8.9 and 9.3 are essentially the market's critical thresholds; stepping on one triggers a liquidation wave.
