Summary

According to Coinglass data, the price of Ethereum surged above $3,100 on January 29, 2026, triggering $1.33 billion in short liquidations on major centralized exchanges (CEX). A drop below $2,800 would result in $576 million in long liquidations. Blockbeats explains that liquidation intensity reflects the potential impact of the price reaching key levels, rather than exact contract values. Higher bars indicate stronger liquidity reactions. Ethereum's news highlights increasing volatility as traders experience sharp shifts in positions.

BlockBeats news: On January 29, according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum breaks through $3,100, the cumulative short-position liquidation volume on major CEXs will reach $1.333 billion.

Conversely, if Ethereum falls below $2,800, the cumulative long-position liquidation volume on major CEXs will reach 576 million.

BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not show the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the exact value of contracts that have been liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the relative importance, or intensity, of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring clusters.

Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what extent the price of an asset will be affected when it reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price reaches that level, it will trigger a stronger reaction due to a wave of liquidity.
