Bitcoin key levels spoiler: These two price points will trigger a liquidation tsunami

Bitcoin is currently facing risks within a critical price range. If it falls below $88,000, it will trigger $638 million in long liquidations; if it breaks above $91,000, shorts will face $1.034 billion in liquidations. This highlights the market's fragility and potential for sharp volatility.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Bitcoin is currently in a sensitive period. According to the latest data, if the price drops below $88,000, long contract positions on mainstream exchanges will face large-scale liquidations, with total liquidation strength reaching $638 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin surges to $91,000, short positions will be affected, with short liquidation strength reaching $1.034 billion.

These two figures may seem alarming, but the underlying logic is not complicated. Liquidation strength essentially measures how much impact the market will experience when the price hits a certain level. The taller the bar, the more intense the chain reaction triggered by liquidity gaps at that price point.

In other words, this does not specify exactly how many contracts will be liquidated, but it tells you—once the price reaches these key points, a large number of liquidations will hit simultaneously, causing more intense market volatility. High liquidation bars indicate greater price shocks and more vigorous market reactions.

Between 88,000 and 91,000, no one can have an easy time --- This wave of liquidation tsunami is truly frightening, but I still dare not sell... --- A liquidation of around 1 billion USD, how crazy would that be --- Getting stuck at these two price levels is really tough, I don't even dare to move --- When liquidity gaps occur, they trigger chain reactions. No wonder so many get liquidated --- Contract leverage traders need to be very cautious these days --- With such price fluctuations and terrifying liquidation intensity, I’d rather hodl spot holdings --- It's another deadlock where prices can't go up or down, so annoying --- 638 million and 1.034 billion, whichever one crashes down would be a disaster

8.8K and 9.1K are really razor-thin margins, just a tiny bit of room in between. Anyone who gets greedy will have to die. --- It's another liquidation tsunami, another over 1 billion USD... Just listen, when the time comes, the explosion will still happen. --- How can contracts be so safe? Every time they say it's a critical point, and what happens? It gets pierced right through. --- Wait, is this logic saying that places with poor liquidity are riskier? Then I trade in these kinds of traps all the time. --- A 1.034 billion USD liquidation order looks scary, but it's really just a technical issue. Don't take it too seriously. --- What you said is correct, but it's nothing new. Liquidations are always waiting right there.

88,000 and 91,000 are really meat grinders, with such a small gap in between. Who dares to move? Don't be fooled by those numbers. Honestly, it's just liquidity exhaustion, smashing out to cause a concentrated explosion. This wave of market movement is really exciting. Retail investors caught in the middle must be feeling terrible. Liquidation tsunami? I'll just see if it can be triggered. Anyway, I have no positions haha. It's about time to tidy up. With so much leverage piled up here, an incident is bound to happen sooner or later.

8.8 and 9.1 are the critical threshold for this wave. The big players have already ambushed here. It's bearish, but the liquidation strength at the billion-level is indeed significant. That's why retail investors are always cut here. I bet five dollars that it can break through 9.1, but the prerequisite is having enough willing buyers. Otherwise, it's a false breakout. Everyone, be careful.

It's between 88,000 and 91,000, feeling like it's being squeezed to death.
