At first glance, this looks like a standard liquidation heatmap.
But zoom out â and the positioning tells a far more uncomfortable story for the market.
đ The imbalance is extreme.
⢠~$14 BILLION in short leverage stacked above price
⢠Less than ~$1 BILLION in long liquidations below
Thatâs roughly a 14:1 short-to-long imbalance.
â ď¸ Why This Matters
Liquidation maps arenât just visuals â they show where forced trades happen.
When shorts get liquidated: âĄď¸ Exchanges execute market buys
âĄď¸ Market buys push price higher
âĄď¸ Higher price liquidates more shorts
That feedback loop is how short squeezes are born.
đŻ The $90Kâ$100K Danger Zone
According to Coinglass data, the $84Kâ$100K range is densely packed with short liquidations.
If $BITCOIN $BTC pushes back toward $90K, it enters a zone where: ⢠Each level breached triggers more forced buying
⢠Buy pressure compounds rapidly
⢠Upside can accelerate fast
Meanwhile đ
The downside is thin. Thereâs simply not enough long leverage below to create the same cascading effect.
Structurally, risk is asymmetric.
đ§ Reality Check (Important)
This setup does NOT guarantee a squeeze.
đ We just saw: ⢠267,000+ traders liquidated in one day
⢠~10% drop from the $90K region
Liquidation clusters are magnets, not promises.
Market makers see this data too â and they can push price either direction to access liquidity.
𧊠So Whatâs the Takeaway?
Bitcoin is currently sitting under one of the most lopsided short-leverage walls of this cycle.
If momentum breaks upward into this zone: đĽ The fuel for a violent move toward $100K clearly exists.
Whether it ignites depends on: ⢠Liquidity
⢠Macro conditions
⢠Sentiment
⢠Timing
But this is the kind of structural setup experienced traders donât ignore.
đ Save the chart.
đ Watch price around these levels.
đ If $BTC moves fast next time â this imbalance may explain why.
