In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin’s approach to critical price levels has raised a scenario that could trigger large-scale liquidations in leveraged trading. According to recent data shared by the on-chain data platform Coinglass, if the Bitcoin price rises above $80,634, approximately $1.77 billion worth of short positions could be liquidated on major centralized cryptocurrency exchanges.
Analysts say that breaking above this level could create a strong “short squeeze” effect in the market. A short squeeze occurs when a sharp upward move in price forces short sellers to close their positions. This creates additional buying pressure, potentially accelerating Bitcoin’s rise.
On the other hand, downside risks are also noteworthy. According to Coinglass data, a drop in Bitcoin below $73,578 could lead to the liquidation of approximately $1.64 billion in long positions. Such a scenario could increase selling pressure and cause sharper price declines.
