Bitcoin has recently faced intense market pressure, with over $1 billion in liquidations, including more than $342 million tied to Bitcoin (BTC) alone. This comes on the heels of a highly publicized clash between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, which has stirred uncertainty in the crypto landscape. The surge in liquidations primarily occurred due to a spike in long positions being liquidated in Bitcoin futures markets.
According to Alphractal's Aggregated Liquidation Heatmap, significant sell activity can be observed in the price range of $107,000 to $114,000, with the $108,000 to $113,000 range being critical for potential liquidation points. Following a notable decline, Bitcoin fell below $102,000, but indications showed that the bearish momentum might be weakening. The Heatmap suggests a reduction in short-selling pressure, which could signal a temporary halt to bearish activity.
Market analysts are noting that if Bitcoin were to drop below $99,000, the price could lower even further to around $93,000, aligning with the Short-Term Holder Realized Price. Yet, Bitcoin appears to be stabilizing around the $100,000 mark. Observers are particularly focused on the $113,000 to $114,000 area, where liquidations might prompt further buying activity, potentially allowing the market to recover.
The volatility spurred by comments from Musk and Trump surrounding tax legislation and U.S. debt concerns continues to create an atmosphere of uncertainty. Despite these challenges, technical indicators, including Bitcoin's recent revisit of its Golden Cross level, point towards possible bullish movements. Past instances have shown that such a pattern has led to price recoveries, and many traders are hopeful that Bitcoin might rally above $106,000, $111,000, and possibly higher. Conversely, falling below $99,000 again could drive prices lower, targeting the range of $97,000 to $93,000.
