On May 9th, based on Coinglass data, if Bitcoin manages to break through $104,000, the total short liquidation intensity on mainstream CEXs will amount to $646 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin drops below $102,000, the total long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEXs will reach $356 million. BlockBeats Notes: The liquidation chart does not provide the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the precise value of the contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the relative significance of each liquidation cluster in relation to the adjacent liquidation clusters, that is, intensity.

A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that the price will have a more intense response due to a liquidity avalanche when it reaches that particular point.
