While monitoring the market today, I came across a liquidation heatmap.



I was stunned after seeing it.

Bitcoin right now isn’t just consolidating—it’s being roasted over a fire.

A spike upward—bears get instantly liquidated for $1 billion.
A dip downward—bulls lose $641 million in a flash.

Is this a market? It’s more like a slaughterhouse.

# Let’s Talk Numbers First

**Above $94,000**, the intensity of short liquidations is maxed out—billion-dollar liquidation potential.

**Below $91,000**, the long liquidation wall is just as frightening—$641 million in longs ready to get wiped out at any moment.

I’m not making this up—the contract position data from major exchanges is right there.

The question is:

Why exactly these two points?

# What’s up with 94k?

It’s clear on the liquidation chart—

Above $94,000, there’s a dense cluster of short liquidations piling up.

What does this mean?

**It’s not just a few people getting liquidated.**

It means:

As soon as the price breaks through, shorts will trigger mass liquidations, forming a stampede of forced buy orders.

The higher the liquidation bar → the stronger the rebound
The denser the liquidation cluster → the more powerful the chain reaction
The larger the liquidation scale → the more likely big players will target this zone

In other words—

94k is a switch.

Whoever presses it can send the price straight to 95k, 96k, even 97k.

Because short liquidations automatically turn into buying power, pushing the price up.

That’s the most thrilling part of the contract market:

**Your stop-loss becomes someone else’s fuel.**

# And 91k?

It’s the same story in reverse.

Below $91,000, the long liquidation wall is just as solid.

Break below, and $641 million in long positions instantly become sell orders, tanking the price.

Longs get liquidated → forced selling → price drops further → more longs liquidated → more selling…

That’s called longs killing longs.

# So What’s the Situation Now?

Bitcoin is stuck between 91k and 94k.

It’s not just moving sideways—it’s caught in a **vise**.

Break upward, shorts get wiped, and the market takes off.
Break downward, longs get wiped out, and the price plunges instantly.

At times like this, the biggest danger isn’t picking the wrong direction.

It’s not realizing your position is right in the **kill zone**.

Some people might say: then why not just avoid leverage?

Of course you can.

But you have to know—

**Spot prices are also driven by contract liquidations.**

Markets are never independent.

I really laughed at the slaughterhouse site selection... This statement hit me right in the gut... If the 91-94k gap can really break through, how many people will be caught holding the bag?

Took action, 91 to 94 is just a meat grinder—no one should expect to get out unscathed.

It really is like picking a location for a slaughterhouse. Looking at this heat map, I’m nervous for both the shorts and the longs. Who would dare make a move between 91 and 94?
