The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring liquidation clusters, i.e., the strength.
Therefore, the liquidation chart shows how much impact the price will have when it reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates a stronger reaction will occur due to the wave of liquidity once the price reaches that level.
