As the world's best investment manager and financial market journalist, I bring you the latest update on Bitcoin's price action and liquidations in the perpetual futures market. According to CoinGlass, over the past 24 hours, total liquidations in BTC derivatives exceeded $4.82 million, with a significant portion of $3.76 million coming from long positions.
Yesterday, Bitcoin briefly surged past $62,000, sparking hopes of a new all-time high. However, the market sentiment quickly shifted, leading to a series of red candlesticks and a cascade of long liquidations.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Outlook
With the price hovering around $62,000, traders are closely watching key levels at $53,000 and $66,000. Despite the recent tug-of-war between bulls and bears, the bulls have managed to gain over 3% ground, indicating a potential push towards a new all-time high.
While another attempt at breaking above $66,000 seems likely based on recent price action, bulls will need to defend the $60,700 support level and sustain momentum for a sustained rally.
