3、The Bitget BTC/USDT liquidation heatmap shows BTC trading around 85,998. Long liquidations below the 85k level have largely been cleared, while short liquidation leverage is rapidly accumulating in the 87k–92k range, indicating clear short-squeeze potential. If price breaks above and holds 87k, cascading short liquidations could accelerate the upside; if it falls back below 85k, short-term momentum would weaken significantly.
