Market Alert: Bitcoin Long Positions Face Significant Liquidation Risk

Current data shows approximately $18 billion in long positions could face liquidation cascade if Bitcoin drops to the $77,000 level. This threshold represents a critical support zone where leveraged traders holding bullish bets would be forced to close positions, potentially triggering a chain reaction of sell-offs.

The concentration of at-risk liquidity at this price point highlights the fragility of the current market structure. Traders actively holding long positions should monitor this level closely, as any sharp downward movement could activate a wave of automated liquidations. The $77K mark has become a focal point for risk management across major trading platforms.

77k that level really can't hold up, 18 billion liquidation risk hanging overhead --- If it drops this time, will automatic liquidation orders trigger like dominoes... --- Leverage traders must be feeling so nervous right now haha --- Is the support level this fragile? Better stay cautious --- Waiting to see if 77k will really fall, so exciting --- Damn, this liquidity concentration is just too outrageous --- The bulls are gambling with their lives, playing with fire --- If 77k breaks, it's game over, feels like it's not far from that --- Automatic liquidation orders once triggered can cause the whole market to shake --- This data looks a bit creepy, who dares to hold heavy positions

Is the 77k level really that fragile? It seems like every time someone says a certain price is a "key support," it still drops below it and continues to fall. The 18b bullish position has been wiped out... How many people's stop-loss orders are stacked at this level?
