- Bitcoin’s short-liquidation leverage nears $12–13 billion, reflecting strong upward pressure as traders are forced to close bearish positions.
- BTC order-flow shows buy-side liquidity absorbing selling pressure, while overhead liquidity gaps between $88K–$92K could allow rapid upward movement.
- Extreme oversold RSI levels signal weakening selling momentum, while intraday bullish candles push BTC above $87K during breakout sessions.
Bitcoin’s leveraged positions and momentum indicators suggest potential upward pressure. Liquidation levels, liquidity gaps, and technical indicators to gauge near-term price behavior add to the bullish sentiments.
Short Liquidations and Market Momentum
Bitcoin’s derivatives market has experienced notable short-liquidation activity across major exchanges. Cointelegraph reported that $3.6 billion in shorts could be wiped out if BTC rises 10%, reflecting strong upward pressure.
The cumulative short-liquidation leverage is approaching $12–13 billion, showing that rising prices have forced many short positions to close. Conversely, cumulative long-liquidation remains relatively flat, indicating fewer forced liquidations for long positions.
Liquidation clusters between $90,000 and $100,000, suggest dense potential short squeezes. The current price is near $84,076 leaving room for further short-term upward moves.
Order Flow and Liquidity Structure
Market participants are observing liquidity gaps and order-flow patterns for Bitcoin’s next moves. TedPillows noted emerging large sell orders around $88,000–$91,000, with the price currently above a CME gap by roughly $2,000.
The BTCUSD order-flow chart reveals cascading price moves to $80,600, where buyers absorbed significant selling pressure. Thick clusters of resting limit orders below price reflect strong buy-side liquidity and a stabilizing market.
Price consolidation above $80,600 led to a thinner overhead liquidity zone between $88,000 and $92,000. This gap could allow rapid upward movement if momentum returns, while cumulative volume delta shows Binance and other exchanges facing persistent selling pressure.
Oversold RSI and Intraday Price Action
Bitcoin’s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) signals oversold conditions similar to past bullish setups. Ali reported extreme RSI lows occurring in September 2023, March 2025, and late 2025, often preceding strong accumulation phases.
Bitcoin’s RSI is moving differently from the price, showing that selling pressure is easing and the market may be finding stability.
Intraday charts reveal steadily rising lows and bigger green candles, as momentum gradually pushed Bitcoin toward $87,101 during the session.
Short-liquidations, steady order flow, and oversold technical signals are all occurring alongside this movement, reflecting active buying in the market.
