$BTC Rejected $80K — Is $76.5K the Next Liquidity Target?

Bitcoin’s strong rally has stalled at the crucial $80,000 level, and the combination of hawkish Fed signals, elevated Treasury yields and renewed geopolitical risk is increasing pressure on the market.

The key question now: Can Bitcoin reclaim $80K, or is a deeper correction toward the lower CME Gap beginning?

Macro Outlook

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s hawkish inflation stance has significantly increased expectations for further monetary tightening. Higher rate expectations and elevated U.S. Treasury yields remain a headwind for risk assets.

At the same time, weakness in equities and renewed Middle East tensions could add further pressure if broader risk sentiment deteriorates.

Technical Setup

Bitcoin is trading near the Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage at $78,840–$80,000 and the key $78,800 trading level.

💡 Educational Note: Short-liquidation zones can attract price as leveraged shorts are forced to close. Once that liquidity is absorbed, however, the same area can become a potential reversal zone.

I expect Bitcoin to potentially decline from this area toward $77,720.
If bearish momentum strengthens and BTC loses its Support Lines and the crucial $77,000 level, the next target becomes the Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage at $76,500–$77,300, followed by the lower CME Gap at $76,255–$76,810.

Trade Setup

First TP: $77,720

Second TP: $76,500–$77,300

Stop Loss: $80,080
