Bitcoin is trading near $74,000 as high leverage clusters around $72,000 and $76,000 on CW’s liquidation heatmap. At the same time, BTC sits near its bull market support band, with major weekly moving averages rising below price.

Bitcoin Price Holds Near $74K as Leverage Builds at $72K and $76K

Bitcoin traded near $74,000 on the CoinAnk liquidation heatmap shared by CW on X, while high leverage positions clustered around $72,000 and $76,000.

The chart shows BTC falling from the $77,000 to $78,000 area before stabilizing near $74,000. After the drop, price moved sideways between the two major liquidity zones.

The brightest heatmap bands appear near $72,000 and $76,000. These areas show where large leveraged positions may face liquidation if price moves sharply in either direction.

CW said movements to liquidate these positions may occur. That keeps both the lower $72,000 zone and the upper $76,000 zone in focus for Bitcoin’s next short term move.
