Summary :
If the price of Bitcoin reaches $72,000, it could trigger a wave of mass liquidations and pave the way for new all-time highs, according to analyst Willy Woo. He believes that tapping $72k would act as a fuse, leading to the liquidation of $1.5 billion worth of short positions and potentially pushing the price up to $75,000. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $71,124 and has seen a 3.15% increase in the past 24 hours. A move above $72,000 would liquidate $800 million worth of leveraged short positions, and above $72,500, over $1.2 billion worth of positions would be liquidated. Bitcoin broke out of a two-week downtrend on June 3, but it still needs to turn the $72,000 resistance into support to enter the parabolic phase of the bull cycle.
