If Ethereum breaks $2100, mainstream CEX total short liquidation volume will reach $896 million
As of February 16, per Coinglass data:
- If Ethereum breaks above $2100, total short liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $896 million.
- Conversely, if Ethereum drops below $1900, total long liquidations across major CEXs will reach $650 million.
BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not show the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the exact value of contracts currently being liquidated. Instead, the bars on these charts reflect how significant each liquidation cluster is relative to neighboring clusters—i.e., its "strength." As such, these charts indicate how strongly a given price level will impact the market: a taller "liquidation bar" means hitting that price will trigger a more intense reaction from a liquidity cascade.
