As of May 18, 2026, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $76,500 to $77,000, putting it right in the crosshairs of massive leveraged clusters on both sides of the order book.

Current Major Liquidation Zones

The major Bitcoin liquidation pools are concentrated within the following key levels:

If Bitcoin breaks past local resistance and hits $82,302, over $761 million in short positions face forced liquidation, which could rapidly accelerate the price upward in a short squeeze.
