U.Today - Bitcoin might be on the brink of a critical and exceedingly unstable move. As the charts uncover, an enormous divider of orders worth more than $80 million is nearing liquidation, possibly clearing the way for Bitcoin to break definitively over the $60,000 level. This seems to check the conclusion of the repressed exchange that has characterized the market recently.

The liquidation heatmap appears to be a basic zone around $60,000, where overwhelming buying and selling weight is focalizing. Once this boundary is overcome, it seems to lead to a price cost surge. This kind of setup frequently comes about in either a solid breakout or a breakdown, with the sentiment among investors moving in response to it.

Bitcoin's price performance was somewhat mixed in the last few weeks. This en masse liquidation at around $60,000 could be a sign of a changing sentiment among investors. However, some technical indicators are still showing mixed dynamics. Trading volume, for example, is rising, suggesting a growth of engagement among bulls and bears. On the other hand, moving averages are slowly converging, which could be a sign of an upcoming volatility surge.

One way or another, Bitcoin remains unpredictable at this point in time. It is unclear what is going on among institutional investors in the background, and without seeing flows of capital around the digital gold, it will be quite hard to determine whether or not BTC will be able to regain $70,000 in the foreseeable future. Additionally, expecting a rally simply because of some short orders, liquidation might be a short-sighted approach.
