ETH Faces Bidirectional Liquidation Pressure, Risk Exceeds $1 Billion Threshold
According to the latest liquidation data, Ethereum requires only a 10% price swing to potentially trigger a liquidation cascade exceeding $1 billion. On the short side, $1.64B in short positions loom overhead—once an upside rally initiates, large trapped shorts will be directly swept out of the market. Long positions are equally under pressure, with $1.05B in longs facing inevitable liquidation if they encounter selling pressure.
The bidirectional risk configuration is extremely unbalanced, with any one-sided market movement capable of triggering a chain reaction of liquidations. The current price level has essentially become bait—attracting longs to chase highs while simultaneously attracting shorts to bottom-fish, but real liquidity barriers stand in the way. Once these levels are breached, risk release becomes inevitable.
