Liquidation heatmaps estimate where leveraged traders’ forced closures may be concentrated when prices move against their positions. They do not guarantee that Bitcoin will reach those levels or reverse there. If BTC enters a dense long-liquidation zone, forced selling may add pressure to a decline. A move into short-liquidation clusters can trigger buy orders as bearish positions are closed. Either process can accelerate price movements when liquidity is thin.

Daan Crypto Trades identified $75,000 and $77,000 as important local levels on X and said a break of either could produce a rapid move of 5%. The analyst also pointed to the $72,000-$73,000 area below and $80,000 above as broader levels. Daan’s comments are available in the analyst’s X post.

CPI and PPI Add to This Week’s Focus

The US economic calendar could influence whether traders test nearby liquidation clusters this week. October CPI and core CPI are scheduled for Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, while Producer Price Index data and core PPI are due Friday. CPI measures changes in the prices consumers pay for goods and services, while PPI captures prices received by domestic producers for their output, giving traders two complementary readouts on inflation from different points in the economy.

The calendar also includes jobless claims, housing data, an OPEC report, and appearances by 17 Federal Reserve speakers, leaving markets several additional macro datapoints to process between the two inflation prints. Sweep’s post on X highlighted a planned $3.65 billion Federal Reserve injection on Monday. The US Treasury is scheduled to buy back $750 million of its own debt on Wednesday.

Inflation and labor-market data can shift expectations for interest rates. A stronger reading may reinforce expectations that borrowing costs remain elevated, while softer figures could support the opposite view. Markets may respond differently across asset classes.

A strong October jobs report added 165,000 jobs and pushed unemployment to 4.1%. The report lifted December rate-hike odds to between 77% and 80%. Traders will compare the upcoming inflation figures with that labor-market signal.

For Bitcoin, the immediate levels in focus are whether the price can recover $75,000 or instead moves toward the lower liquidity pocket. Daan’s levels frame a broader range, while this week’s economic releases could affect how quickly traders test either side. CoinGecko’s Bitcoin data is available here.
