The cryptocurrency market recently underwent a notable correction, leading to a sharp decline in the global crypto market cap. This downturn aligns with insights from the Bitcoin Liquidation Heatmap, highlighted by renowned analyst Willy Woo.
His analysis suggests a potential $1.5 billion Bitcoin short liquidation if BTC hits the crucial $72,000 mark. Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at $70,959.96, with a 24-hour trading volume of $36.5 billion. Despite recent volatility, Bitcoin has surged by 2.85% in the past 24 hours, indicating a significant recovery.
Analysis of Bitcoin’s Price Trends and Impending Liquidation
Despite the looming $1.5 billion Bitcoin short liquidation threat at $72,000, BTC has shown resilience. Earlier, it was confined within a large descending channel pattern characterized by lower highs and lows. However, a breakout has occurred, which some interpret as a signal of a potential bull market. The $60,000 support zone has proven resilient on multiple occasions, with market sentiment targeting the channel’s higher boundary.
Bitcoin price rallied upwards strongly yesterday, breaching the symmetrical triangle’s resistance line, achieving the first target at $70,645.00, and eyeing further gains towards $73,800.00. The bullish trend is expected to continue, supported by the EMA50 carrying the price from below.
Notably, breaking $68,890.00 would halt the expected rise and subject the price to negative pressure on an intraday basis. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) surpassing the 50% mark indicates a return to bullish momentum. Willy Woo has further predicted that amid breaking the $72,000 level could lead to a rally towards $75,000 and potentially new all-time highs.

Live Market Dynamics and Long-Term Outlook
As of today, the live price of Bitcoin (BTC) is $71,028.56, with a 24-hour trading volume of $32.4 billion. The cryptocurrency has surged 3% in the past 24 hours and is currently trading between $71,224.18 and $70,476.79. Bitcoin’s live market cap stands at $1.3 trillion. Open interest in Bitcoin has surged by 5.96%, reaching a valuation of $20.4 billion. Historical price data suggests that Bitcoin is heading towards forming a new all-time high in the first few weeks of 2025.
The price has followed a parabolic curve during the past bull run and now appears to be at the midpoint of the rally. Despite the RSI indicating a well-planned rally, recent rejections above $71,000 have diminished bullish strength.
Traders now expect BTC to maintain its current sluggish trend for a while. However, from a long-term perspective, market dynamics are anticipated to shift, potentially having a major impact on Bitcoin’s price trajectory.
