Bitcoin's price has surged by 5% to $71,000, just 4% below its all-time high. However, concerns are growing about a potential market correction that could trigger widespread liquidations of leveraged positions. The coin's open interest has also reached a new all-time high, indicating increased engagement from market participants. However, high open interest can lead to forced liquidations and sharp price swings. Currently, more than half of the opened positions in Bitcoin's futures market are betting on continued price growth, creating an imbalance that could result in rapid liquidation if prices drop. Technical analysis suggests that Bitcoin is in an overheating state, with a possible pullback in the near future. The $67,000 to $68,000 price range is an important area to watch, as it contains concentrated liquidity and many leveraged long positions. A pullback to this range could result in either further selling or a buying frenzy that propels Bitcoin to new highs.
