Conversely, if Ethereum drops below $4000, the total intensity of long liquidation on mainstream CEX will reach $1.202 billion. BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not provide the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the exact value of the liquidated contracts. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the significance of each liquidation cluster in relation to nearby liquidation clusters, that is, intensity.
