Was looking at the liquidation map and something stood out.
Around $73K–$74K there’s a pretty large cluster of short liquidations sitting there. Roughly $1B+ in short leverage stacked in that zone. When price starts moving into areas like this, it often turns into fuel.
If Bitcoin pushes through that range with momentum, those shorts start getting forced out of their positions. And once liquidations begin, they can accelerate the move even more because the market has to buy back those positions.
So sometimes a breakout isn’t just buyers stepping in, it’s shorts getting squeezed out of the way
