Interpretation of Bitcoin key price level liquidation data: dual trigger points at 94,000 and 96,000

SerumDegen · 2026-01-17T09:26:11+00:00

Bitcoin faces varying degrees of liquidation pressure at $94,000 and $96,000, potentially resulting in $442 million and $250 million in liquidations respectively. The liquidation chart reflects the importance of liquidation intensity; taller bars indicate a greater market reaction when the price reaches those levels, helping traders assess price trends.

【Blockchain Rhythm】According to the latest on-chain data, Bitcoin prices will face varying degrees of liquidation pressure at two key levels — this is the current focus for traders.

If Bitcoin drops below $94,000, the cumulative liquidation strength on mainstream CEX platforms for long positions will reach approximately $442 million. Conversely, once it breaks above $96,000, the liquidation strength on short positions will reach about $250 million.

An important detail worth understanding here is: the liquidation chart does not precisely calculate how many contracts will be liquidated, nor does it accurately display the specific value of the liquidated contracts. Each bar on the chart actually reflects the relative importance between adjacent liquidation clusters — simply put, a comparison of strength.

From another perspective, the true meaning of the liquidation chart is: when the price reaches a certain level, what degree of impact will the market experience? The taller the bar, the more intense the market reaction due to liquidity fluctuations at that price. This is why analyzing liquidation distribution at key levels can help traders better judge potential rebound points or acceleration zones.

Points 9.4 and 9.6 are indeed unsustainable; both bulls and bears should be cautious.

9.4 and 9.6 are really unsustainable now. The liquidation volume for longs and shorts is almost twice as much, which is a bit outrageous. Are the defenses on the short side weaker than on the long side? Feels like both sides need to be cautious. Honestly, it's a total of 442 million yuan dumped in, and that number is really scary. Understanding the meaning of the liquidation chart, it's actually just about the impact force. Wait, according to this logic, where are we currently stuck?

The group of people caught between 94,000 and 96,000 are probably going to get caught in a trap... Both bulls and bears have landmines.

94,000 and 96,000 are really tight points, and the liquidation pressure of over 442 million orders is a bit scary. Both bulls and bears have so many people trapped, no wonder the recent volatility has been so intense—just waiting for one side to break first. Wait, can we really trust these liquidation data? Feels like they always scare us. Are we about to get liquidated again? Or can we really hold on this time? Looks like we need to stick to our stop-losses; this is too intense, brothers.

9.4 and 9.6 are really points to watch closely, as both bulls and bears have large orders waiting. Wait, what does a liquidation intensity of 442 million mean? How long can it sustain? This chart interpretation is good, but will the actual sell-off be more intense than the data suggests? Breaking 9.4 will cause a direct explosion, which feels very exciting. Basically, both sides have ambushes; it’s a matter of who acts first.

94,000 and 96,000 are really tightly locked, both bulls and bears have so many guns buried... feels like whichever side breaks through will lead to a bloodbath.

94,000 and 96,000 are really stuck at those two points, with both bulls and bears piling up there. It's a dual-sided squeeze, making it hard to move in any direction. 4.42 billion vs 2.50 billion, the bullish pressure is indeed a bit stronger, quite interesting. I need to look closely at this liquidation data, don't want to be fooled by the charts.

Positions at 9.4 and 9.6 really need to be watched closely, both longs and shorts have large orders there. Shorts only liquidated 250 million? Longs at 440 million... feels like the bulls are under more pressure. The liquidation chart basically shows the impact strength; whether the bars are tall or not is the key. Having to guard against both drops and rises, this market trend is indeed a bit frustrating.
