According to market data provided by Coinglass, the cumulative long-liquidated leverage of Bitcoin price drops to about $77,253 is around $1 billion. The chances of Bitcoin price retracing below $80K again before continuing with the rally in the near term cannot be overlooked.

Furthermore, more than 60 percent of all traders on the Binance exchange, the leading centralized exchange with registered users and daily trading volume, with open Bitcoin futures positions are going short.

From a technical analysis standpoint, Bitcoin price is on the cusp of going parabolic in the coming months, as the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) attempts to rally above the 70 percent level for the first time since April, this year. Consequently, Bitcoin price could retrace below $80K to retest the recent bullish breakout of precious ATH around $73.7K.

Best Move Ahead

As the cryptocurrency market enters the most volatile phase of the macro bull run, forced liquidations are expected to significantly spike. Moreover, there are possibilities of unexpected FOMO traders amid mainstream adoption fueled by institutional investors.
