February 15th, according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum falls below $2000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity of mainstream CEX will reach $769 million.Conversely, if Ethereum breaks through $2200, the cumulative short liquidation intensity of mainstream CEX will reach $748 million.BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually show the importance of each liquidation cluster relative to neighboring liquidation clusters, that is, the intensity.Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what extent the asset price will be affected when it reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price reaches that point, a more intense reaction will occur due to a liquidity cascade.
