Looking at this liquidation heatmap makes it very clear. Bitcoin has pulled back from high levels and is oscillating around 90,000. Don’t see it as strength; it’s actually waiting for traffic to enter.

The most critical zone is just one—between 87,000 and 90,000. This is currently the densest area of liquidations, with long leverage and stop-loss orders heavily concentrated. The essence of the market has never been simply going up or down; the real game is about liquidations.

With so many chips accumulated at the bottom and no movement, why would the main players push the price higher? At this stage, it looks more like a high-level oscillation to cover up the true intention. The real drama is in the bottoming out. This means that chasing longs above 90,000 offers only average value. Instead, the positions between 88K and 87K are worth focusing on.

Market opportunities often hide right here—at the moment when most people can no longer hold on.

87K is really the sniper position, chasing after this crappy position at 90K is just farming newbies.

87K is the real battleground; 90K is just a facade. This guy's analysis is spot on. The intensive liquidation zone definitely needs attention. Waiting to see how big players harvest; the stable bottom chips indicate the good show hasn't started yet. Those who chased above 90K are probably feeling a bit uncomfortable right now.

The real battleground is between 87 and 90. With such a high liquidation density, chasing the highs now is just giving the main players money.

There is definitely some tension between positions 88 and 87, just waiting for the big players to dump.

87K to 88K is the real sniping zone, and the 90K position is just a sedative.

Between 87 and 88 is indeed dense, but I think it still depends on the exchange's liquidation data. The differences between Binance and OKX are quite significant. Chasing longs at high levels is indeed an IQ tax; this analysis is reliable. However, the logic behind the main force's price manipulation still depends on the funding situation, and you can't just look at the heat map. My third child asked me today when Bitcoin will return to 50,000. It's really outrageous; little kids want to buy the dip in everything. To be honest, after playing the liquidation game for so many years, you still need to be cautious of contract code traps. Many project teams secretly change parameters.
