BTC currently sits on a precarious cliff edge. Should the price tumble to $77,000, over $18 billion in leveraged long positions face forced liquidation—a scenario that would send shockwaves through the market.
What does this mean? The leverage game remains dangerously stacked beneath current price levels. With this much dry powder ready to detonate, even a modest pullback could trigger a cascade of liquidations. Traders who've been riding the momentum with heavy margin exposure need to pay close attention here.
This concentration of risk isn't just a number on a screen—it's a potential trigger that could reshape short-term price action significantly.

1.8 billion just hanging there, feeling like it could blow up at any moment. These leverage players are really playing with fire.

An 1.8 billion bomb is underneath, with so many leveraged positions just waiting for that 77k drop.

18b liquidation... If it crashes this time, leverage traders are probably going to get wiped out.

An 18B leverage bomb... this time you really need to be careful, one careless move and it'll be a bloodbath.

1.8 billion liquidation, just let it blow up, anyway, that's what they always say, and it still goes up in the end.
