BTC is at a critical decision point. A successful breakout above the current box could ignite a powerful continuation of Wave 5. However, a rejection and break below $80K opens the door to $73K, a do-or-die support zone.
Mid- and long-term structures remain intact, but everything now hinges on short-term price action.
The liquidation heatmap highlights the risk and reward balance clearly—next few candles could decide the direction.
BTC is attempting to break through the box for the second time. If this breakout is sustained, it would be a very strong signal for further upside. However, if BTC gets rejected again, the Hyperliquid Liquidation Map clearly shows $80K as the next key level, with $73,692 acting as a critical last line of support. A break below that would shift the entire structure.
No major change in structure—BTC is still on track toward completing Wave 5, with potential to even exceed the expected targets. Wave 4 appears to be complete, as it didn’t fall below the high of Wave 1 ($73,692), and the correction fits the typical 23.6%–38.2% retracement range. The volume at that level also confirms strong interest and defense.
Structure remains unchanged, but BTC is now “on the edge”, meaning it’s poised for an impulsive breakout. This setup is bullish, but the short-term scenario must confirm the move for long-term momentum to kick in.
There’s a dense cluster of long liquidations around $80K. If BTC falls below that, we could see a fast move down to $73K, where the last significant support and high-volume area lie. It’s a make-or-break zone for bulls, and market reactions will be key.
