Based on the historical data and price momentum, if BTC gives a daily candle closing below the $62,300 level, there is a high chance that the price of BTC could fall below $60,000 or even more in the coming days.
As of now the major liquidation levels are at $62,500 on the lower side and $64,500 on the higher side, according to on-chain analytic firm CoinGlass.
If the market sentiment remains unchanged and BTC falls to the $62,500 level, nearly $401 million of the long position will be liquidated. Conversely, if market sentiment changes and BTC price soars to the $64,500 level, nearly $720 million of short position will be liquidated.
