BTC/USDT Liquidation Coordinates Fully Updated—68,238 USD vs 75,000 USD Defense and Attack Pattern

As of 11:30 on April 14 (UTC+8), Gate.io market data shows BTC/USDT at $74,078.6, up 4.58% in 24 hours. As the price re-enters above the $74k level, the market-wide liquidation heatmap has also undergone structural changes, and the battlefronts for bulls and bears have been rearranged.

Long strategy (3 days to 1 week):

The first entry zone for longs is set at $72,800–$73,200, which is a dense trading area from the night of April 13 to 14, repeatedly tested and supported by buy orders. Stop-loss is set below $71,800, with targets at $74,800–$75,200. If the price breaks above $75,500 and stabilizes, it enters a “chase long” mode, with further targets at $77,000–$78,000, and stop-loss moved up below $74,500. For spot investors, current orders can be placed in two batches near $74,000 (first at current price, second on pullback to $73,000), with leverage primarily using spot, and contracts not exceeding 3x.

Short strategy (short-term speculative):

The first entry zone for shorts is set at $74,800–$75,200, near the previous high resistance from March, also a gathering area for many stop-loss orders from bears. Stop-loss is set above $75,500, with targets at $73,000–$73,500. If the price surges quickly but volume does not increase proportionally (“price rises with decreasing volume”), it can be seen as a “trap for longs,” and additional short positions can be added near $75,200, targeting $74,000–$74,500.

Current risks:

It is important to note that April 15 is the tax deadline for the U.S. IRS. Market analysis predicts that due to crypto investors needing to pay capital gains taxes, up to $2.8 billion worth of Bitcoin selling pressure will be released in the near future. This “tax selling pressure” may create short-term sell-side resistance above $74,000. Investors should closely monitor the market’s ability to absorb high-level prices over the next 24 hours. If the selling pressure is released and the price remains above $73,000, it indicates strong buying support, and further upward movement can be expected.

Conclusion: Currently, bulls and bears are in a relatively balanced state, with key battles unfolding in the $73,000–$75,000 range. It is recommended that investors use staggered orders and strictly control leverage, waiting for a clearer trend before increasing positions further.
