BTC is currently at 82,987, down slightly by 0.1% over the past 24 hours. More than $1.09 billion was liquidated during that period. New buyers are cutting their losses and exiting—a sign that leverage and panic selling have often been flushed out in a concentrated wave. The strategy is simple: watch 82,500, the line separating bullish and bearish territory. If BTC stays above it, a short-term recovery is possible; if it breaks below, watch for a retest of the liquidation low at 80,350.

BTC is currently at 82,987, above 82,500 and still in the recovery watch zone. It would only signal weakness if it falls back below 82,500. The key is whether it can continue to hold above that level; below, 80,350 marks the low of the latest liquidation cascade. #BTC
