【BlockBeats】Recently, there is a data point worth noting—the liquidation pressure points for Bitcoin.

According to the data, if Bitcoin surges to the $97,000 level, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on mainstream exchanges will reach 645 million. Conversely, if it drops below $93,000, the long liquidation intensity will spike to 752 million.

Here, it is necessary to explain what liquidation intensity means. Many people tend to misunderstand it, thinking that the liquidation chart shows the exact number of contracts or the specific value being liquidated, but that’s not the case. The liquidation bars reflect the importance of each liquidation cluster relative to neighboring clusters. In simple terms, it’s about intensity.

In other words, the liquidation chart tells us: when the price reaches a certain level, how much impact the market will experience. The taller the bar, the more likely the price is to experience significant volatility driven by liquidity waves once it hits that level. For traders, this is a signal that risk and opportunities may concentrate at these points.

Points 9.3 and 9.7 are tightly squeezed between, everyone playing with contracts has to stay alert. If you're not careful, you'll be wiped out by the liquidation wave.

9.3 to 9.7 this range is really a knife's edge, both sides are full of mines --- The strength of liquidation essentially reflects the market's vulnerabilities, ready to trigger at any moment --- The liquidation pressure of 752 million long positions, just looking at this number gives me chills --- No wonder the price has been stuck around these two points recently; it turns out big players are stacking traps here --- Every time I see this kind of data, I think of those friends who got liquidated, and I really feel for them --- Honestly, I’m just watching these two levels now, afraid I might get caught off guard and trapped --- I've been looking at this liquidation chart for so many years, and it still feels like gambling—who can really predict it? --- Shorts and longs are equally unlucky; both have to stay alert and guard their positions --- So now, it’s best to wait and see, don’t act rashly

Caught between 9.3 and 9.7. This wave of the market will either break the bears or break the bulls, no middle ground.
