Will BTC drop below $80K? A quick read from the liquidation map
Looking at the liquidation heatmap, the answer is not straightforward but the odds are not one-sided.
Right now, the heaviest concentration of liquidation liquidity sits above price, especially around $84.8K–$86.8K, with a visible cluster near $84,872 (~$114M in leverage). This tells us one thing clearly: BTC is still magnetized upward in the short term, because price is naturally drawn toward dense liquidity zones where stops and liquidations sit.
Below the current range, there is liquidity, but it’s more fragmented and thinner until we approach the $80K–$78K area. That zone would only become a true target after the upside liquidity is cleared or if a strong macro/flow-driven sell impulse appears.
In simple terms: BTC does not need to break below $80K right now to continue its current structure.
The market first has an incentive to sweep liquidity above, shake out late shorts, and rebalance positioning.
A drop below $80K becomes likely only if: • $84K–$86K is rejected aggressively
• Open interest stays elevated while price fails to expand up
• Large players flip from liquidity absorption to distribution$BTC
