BITCOIN LIQUIDATION MAP: WHAT IT MEANS FOR TRADERS AND ALTCOIN PROJECTS bitcoin:native is trading near $81K, with large leveraged positions sitting on both sides. The key levels: • $87,350: around $103.7M in short liquidations • $73,925: around $42.4M in long liquidations • Total above price: $1.4B • Total below price: $1.31B For traders: If bitcoin:native pushes toward $87K, short liquidations could add buying pressure and accelerate the move.

For altcoin projects: A stable or rising Bitcoin creates a better environment for traders to rotate into altcoins. A clean BTC breakout could bring more liquidity, attention and volume across the market. But a sharp BTC liquidation move can drain liquidity from altcoins quickly. DYOR
