“If we look at liquidation heatmap data from Hyblock Capital, which basically shows where all the short and long positions are across various orderbooks at centralized crypto exchanges, we can see that there’s a liquidity pocket of long positions that are being exploited…that pocket extends from $120,000 to $115,000 and from $115,000 to $113,000.”
Salmond added to the list
“There are plenty of metrics and data that suggest Bitcoin is trading at a discount right now. If you consider the mean price to be $120,000, a 1 standard deviation move away from that is $115,000, a 2 standard deviation move away from the mean is $110,000. Aggregate orderbook data for Bitcoin currently shows a sufficiently hefty amount of bids in that range.”
