Warning from Coinglass: Surpassing the price of Bitcoin at $95,000 may lead to short liquidations worth $163 million

According to the latest data from Coinglass, Bitcoin (BTC) could trigger significant short pressure if it breaks above $95,000, with an estimated cumulative short liquidation across major centralized exchanges (CEX) reaching $163 million.

Conversely, a drop below $93,000 would put long positions at risk, with an expected $68.45 million in cumulative long liquidation, indicating a highly leveraged market with critical price thresholds on both sides.

The $95,000 breakout area retains the largest short liquidation pool

While Bitcoin trades around $94,000 - $94,500, the $95,000 level has now become a technical and psychological turning point, with a large number of short positions vulnerable to liquidation.

While Coinglass's liquidation heat map does not display contract values or precise quantities, it highlights the relative strength of liquidation pools - effectively showing how aggressively the price interacts when reaching certain levels.

"A higher liquidation bar means the price will react more strongly to the liquidity wave after reaching that point," Coinglass explained.

This means that if Bitcoin rises above $95,000, the forced pressure on short liquidations could push prices higher, reinforcing the upward momentum.
