Crypto bears got it wrong again, losing $300 million in liquidations
Crypto bears faced $300 million in losses as Bitcoin surged to $80,594.

Expert trader DonAlt outlines three critical Bitcoin price levels: $78,000 as a cautious return point, $87,000 for bullish acceleration, and $70,000 as a death zone. These levels are crucial for determining market direction as BTC approaches $80,000.

Veteran trader DonAlt, an old-timer of the crypto community who gained even more popularity after accurately predicting a 700% XRP rally to $3.65 back in 2024, has published an updated roadmap for Bitcoin.
While BTC is hovering on the brink of $80,000, DonAlt urges traders to ignore the noise and focus on three mathematical levels that are currently defining the market direction:

The main risk factor today remains the fragility of long positions - according to data from CoinGlass, liquidations of long positions totalling about $130.08 million have already accumulated around the $73,218.83 level. This creates the risk of a cascading drop if support at $70,000 fails to hold.
For those who follow DonAlt's long-term projections, BTC is currently in a preemptively bullish phase. It should be noted that his remains at $6.90, which leads to extrapolating this success to his current plan for Bitcoin.
DonAlt identifies $78,000 as a cautious return point, $87,000 as a bullish acceleration zone, and $70,000 as a critical death zone.
The $70,000 level is viewed as a critical support; falling below it could indicate a high probability of a prolonged decline in Bitcoin's price.
If Bitcoin breaks above $87,000, DonAlt expects a transition into parabolic growth with aggressive buying replacing caution.
