Key Takeaways
- Coinglass data shows over $1.5B in short liquidations are at risk if Bitcoin hits $95K.
- Bitcoin has held steady above $90K this week despite low liquidation levels and limited directional bets.
Bitcoin is maintaining its grip on the $90,000 level, rising to $91,100 by midday Friday. The largest crypto asset by market cap briefly tapped $95K earlier this week and appears to be slowly climbing back toward that key resistance.
Data from Coinglass shows that Binance perpetual BTC futures indicate over $1.5 billion in short liquidations could be triggered if Bitcoin climbs back to $95K, suggesting a potential volatility spike with just a 5% move.
Despite that setup, liquidations across crypto markets remain muted, with just $180 million in total positions wiped in the past 24 hours. The subdued figure reflects indecision among traders, as Bitcoin consolidates above $90K with no clear directional bets.
