The current value of this short position is approximately $45.218 million, with an unrealized loss of about $851,000 and a return rate of approximately -38.4%. Using 20x full-collateral leverage, the liquidation price is approximately $82,896.50. If BTC rises another $2,057 (about 2.5%) from its current price, the position will reach liquidation.
