Bitcoin at a Crossroads: $60K Support vs. $2 Billion Liquidations

Bitcoin at a Crossroads: $60K Support vs. $2 Billion Liquidations

  • Around $2.17 billion in longs will be liquidated if Bitcoin drops below $60,000.
  • Over $1 billion in shorts will be liquidated if Bitcoin breaks above $66,000.
  • If Bitcoin loses $60,000, $800 million in longs will be liquidated on Binance.

Bitcoin (BTC), the top digital asset, hovers near the $60,000 mark, despite a recent rally that pushed it past this level. The cryptocurrency aims to overcome the $64,000 resistance zone, but billions in liquidations loom.

Data from Coinglass’s Bitcoin Exchange Liquidation Map reveals that if BTC falls below the $60,000 price level, approximately $2.17 billion in longs will be liquidated from exchanges, with $208.62K liquidated on OKX and $57.97K on Bybit.

A significant concern is that if Bitcoin drops below $60,000, close to $800 million in longs will be liquidated on Binance. This liquidation could further trigger a price crash, leading to a cascading effect and an even more substantial price drop. Additionally, if Bitcoin declines to the $58,000 price level, over $2.25 billion in longs will be wiped out from the entire space.

At the time of writing, the price of the cryptocurrency stands at $63,797.26, up around 3% in the past 24 hours with an 11.00% drop in its trading volume, which stands at $40.8 billion as per the data from CoinMarketCap. 

The market leader is down 13.5% from its all-time high of $73,750.07 witnessed in March earlier this year following the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States.

Potential for Short Liquidations

On the other hand, a mere $24.12 million in shorts will be liquidated if Bitcoin surpasses the $64,000 price level. If the market leader breaks through the $65,000 price level, $737.57 million in shorts will be eliminated from the crypto space, with $207.92K being liquidated on OKX.

More than $1 billion in shorts will be liquidated from the crypto market if Bitcoin climbs above the $66,000 price level, with $108.64K being liquidated on OKX. The liquidation of shorts could further fuel a bullish rally in the price of BTC, which is up 9.76% in the last seven days and 7.30% in the past month.
