Bitcoin is approaching a crucial price point of $74,300, which could result in a massive $1.45 billion liquidation of short positions. The recent correction in the cryptocurrency market coincided with a sudden surge in the global crypto market cap. Data from the Bitcoin Liquidation Heatmap indicates the potential for a significant liquidation of Bitcoin shorts once the price hits $74,300.

Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at $70,931.32, with a 24-hour trading volume of $43.7 billion. In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has surged by 5.89%, causing anticipation of potential liquidations and price movements. Despite the looming threat of a $1.45 billion liquidation at $74,300, Bitcoin has broken its range and experienced growth, with steady inflows exceeding $237 million.

The recent surge in Bitcoin's price led to the liquidation of short traders, generating over $345 million in revenue from crypto derivatives trading. This turnover suggests that Bitcoin bulls are dominating the market, hinting at the possibility of a new all-time high. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed the 50% mark, reaching 68.90, indicating a return to bullish momentum. Breaking the $70,000 barrier has set the stage for a potential rally towards and possibly surpassing the previous all-time high.

Bitcoin's market outlook shows a significant daily candle following the last red candle on May 19, with a 6% increase to $70,920.36, stabilizing the uptrend.

With a live market cap of $1.3 trillion, Bitcoin could continue its upward trend based on current market dynamics and bullish signals. Analysts predict that Bitcoin might face substantial liquidations if it reaches the critical $74,300 level, potentially triggering a significant short squeeze and further boosting the price.
