$BTC did something terrifying in 48 hours
It surged to $84,000, liquidating $190 million in short positions
Then it reversed to $79,700, wiping out more than 1 billion in long positions
But the surprise isn’t in what happened—it’s in what might happen next
According to the liquidation map, there are large clusters above $81,500, all the way up to $87,000 about five times larger than the clusters at the lower end
The market may have exhausted the buyers first before turning to target the sellers
The lesson from this movement is clear: when everyone uses the same leverage and crowds into the same direction, they become fuel for the opposite movement
