Bitcoin is currently moving around $81,000, and looking at the recent liquidation map, some interesting signals are emerging. There is a significant buildup of short positions in the short term, increasing the risk of a squeeze. From around $78,000 up to the current level, many short orders are trapped, indicating a potential for a sudden move.
An interesting point is that altcoins are continuing their rally despite this situation. The liquidation map for Bitcoin suggests that resistance above might be weaker than expected, and it seems that altcoin traders have already sensed this. If a short squeeze occurs, it could trigger a chain reaction leading to a stronger upward movement.
Whether now is a good timing is subjective, but based on the liquidation map pattern, the volatility is likely to increase, so caution is advised.
