Bitcoin Liquidation Alert: $1.14B in Shorts Could Be Wiped Out if BTC Breaks $87K
According to Coinglass data as of April 15, if Bitcoin $BTC surges past $87,000, total short liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) could spike to $1.14 billion. In contrast, a drop below $84,000 could trigger $969 million in long liquidations.
What does this mean for traders?
The liquidation chart doesn’t show the exact number or value of contracts being liquidated. Instead, it visualizes the intensity of liquidation zones — how much price volatility can be expected if BTC hits a specific level. Taller bars suggest stronger reactions and potential liquidity cascades.
As Bitcoin flirts with critical price thresholds, expect high volatility and fast-paced market movements.
