Bitcoin is currently in a sensitive position, with market data showing over $7 billion in high-leverage short positions piling up. This looks like a situation that could explode at any moment.

Simply put: if the BTC price rises by about 10%, these short positions face the risk of a chain reaction of liquidations. Exchanges trigger forced liquidations, forcing shorts to buy back, which in turn pushes the price higher—once this self-reinforcing squeeze starts, it can happen surprisingly fast.

Where is the problem? Most retail traders cannot see these position distribution data at all. They trade based on intuition until a liquidation notification hits their heads and they realize what’s happening.

That’s why real-time derivatives data monitoring becomes critical. Accurately understanding the distribution of derivatives positions, leverage ratios, and liquidation prices across all exchanges can turn these invisible risks into actionable signals.

Current data shows that the dense zone of liquidations is just about 10% above the current price, like a minefield. Yet most traders remain unaware.

In derivatives trading, information delay equals loss. Traders who can access real-time on-chain position heatmaps, liquidity distribution, and liquidation alerts have a clear advantage—they no longer trade based on intuition but can see the battlefield layout clearly, avoiding risks in advance or positioning for potential moves.

While others are still pondering the market maker’s intentions, those who have the data are already preparing for the upcoming squeeze.
