May 5th data from Coinglass shows that if Bitcoin rises above $82,000, the total short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $590 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $78,000, the total long liquidation intensity on these major CEXs will reach $2.048 billion. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts set to be liquidated. Instead, the bars on these charts represent how significant each liquidation cluster is relative to adjacent clusters—this is referred to as "intensity." As such, the charts illustrate the extent to which the underlying asset’s price will be impacted when it hits a specific level. A taller "liquidation bar" means the price, once reached, will trigger a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.

On May 5th, trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio shared his latest market take on his personal channel: He noted he hasn’t spoken up about crypto in a while—mainly because he lacked a clear view of the market. Trading crypto lately has felt like torture, he said, while the stock market offered far better opportunities (opportunity cost is real). Still, he finally spotted an opportunity he’s willing to bet on. His bullish call since his last post proved correct, he added—even though he got liquidated just before BTC’s final surge. For him, BTC’s $80k level is critical: it’s the first sign of reclaiming its range since the downtrend kicked off in September 2025. While a crypto-specific narrative is still missing, he believes price almost always leads fundamentals in this space. His take: if BTC can hold above $80k long enough, speculators will come back.
