3. Bitcoin Liquidation Intensity: Long > Short
According to cryptocurrency data platform Coinglass, if Bitcoin (BTC) price falls below $103,000, the long position liquidation intensity on major centralized exchanges (CEX) is expected to reach $521 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin price breaks above $105,000, the short position liquidation intensity is projected to be $301 million.
Coinglass explained that liquidation intensity does not represent the exact number or value of liquidation contracts, but shows the relative importance of liquidation clusters. Therefore, a higher 'liquidation intensity' at a specific price point suggests a strong potential impact on market liquidity.

During his speech, he also mentioned Bitcoin's transparency and censorship resistance as more attractive features in the current global monetary system. He said, "It is a superior asset form that anyone can freely own, transfer, and store, without value depreciation due to government or bank actions.
