Key Price Levels and Liquidation Trends
A deeper analysis of the map notes that a vertical dashed line marks the current Bitcoin price of $104,755 . To the left of this line, long liquidations prevail but quickly taper off after $102,960. To the right, short liquidations increase substantially, demonstrating heightened risk for traders holding short positions at higher price levels.
The cumulative short leverage climbs steadily beyond $105,000, crossing 12 billion USD near the highest prices on the chart. This rise indicates a growing pool of short positions at risk if Bitcoin continues to advance. Conversely, cumulative long leverage falls consistently, indicating diminished liquidation risk for long traders near current prices.
Implications for Market Participants
The liquidation volume peaks near Bitcoin’s potential all-time high price of $111,900. According to recent estimates, nearly $11.5 billion in short positions stand vulnerable to liquidation should Bitcoin reach this level. This situation reflects a considerable exposure to short liquidation if bullish momentum sustains.
