Summary

On February 22, 2026, Ethereum’s price surged above $2,100, triggering $652 million in short liquidations across major centralized exchanges, according to Coinglass data. A drop below $1,900 could trigger $506 million in long liquidations. Blockbeats notes that the chart illustrates relative liquidation clusters rather than exact values, highlighting potential market reactions at key Ethereum price levels.

BlockBeats news, on February 22, according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum breaks above $2,100, the cumulative liquidation strength of long positions on major CEXs will reach $652 million.

Conversely, if Ethereum falls below $1,900, the cumulative long liquidation pressure on major CEXs will reach $506 million.

BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the exact value of liquidated contracts. The bars on the liquidation chart represent the relative strength or intensity of each liquidation cluster compared to its neighboring clusters.

Therefore, the liquidation chart shows how significantly the price will be affected when it reaches a certain level. Higher "liquidation bars" indicate that the price will trigger a stronger reaction due to a wave of liquidity once it reaches that level.
