If Bitcoin surpasses $82,000, the mainstream CEX cumulative short liquidation intensity will reach $1.328 billion.
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.

Trader Eugene: If Bitcoin Can Stay Above $80,000, Speculators Will Return to the Crypto Market
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.

Bitunix Analyst: Global Central Banks and Geopolitical Risks Simultaneously Exerting Pressure, Market Repricing "High-Rate Extension" and Energy Supply Uncertainty
**May 5th Market Update**
Global markets are currently weighing two key narratives: the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) renewed hawkish stance on inflation, and escalating Middle East tensions that threaten energy supplies and global supply chains.
The RBA is widely expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points this week—near-unanimous market consensus. Firms including Goldman Sachs, Bank of the West, and Citigroup see room for additional hikes ahead, citing persistent energy price pressures and uncooled labor market tightness.
On the U.S. front, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Williams delivered a critical policy signal: there is currently insufficient reason to hike rates again, but above-expectation inflation this year means rate cuts will be delayed. This underscores the Fed’s unchanged core logic—only that the high-interest-rate environment may persist longer. Notably, amid rising risks in the Strait of Hormuz and elevated oil prices, markets are reassessing how energy

Analyst: Without an extreme black swan event, the $60,000 range is expected to become the bottom of this bear market
On May 5th, analyst @Murphychen888 noted that Bitcoin’s Long-Term Holder (LTH) net position trend reversal has historically preceded the asset’s price bottom—weakening supply-side pressure creates conditions for a bottom to form.
Since February 10, 2026, LTH net positions have risen, accumulating ~324,000 BTC by April 30. Over the same period, Short-Term Holders (STH) cut their holdings by 184,000 BTC, with some converting to new LTH positions. Excluding these conversions, original LTH actively added ~140,000 BTC—becoming a key driver of LTH growth.
Comparing to past cycles: In the last bear market, LTH net positions bottomed and turned higher on July 23, 2022. Barring the FTX scandal-induced panic selloff, the $19k-$22k range likely would have formed the bottom zone. Similarly, after LTH positions rebounded in July 2019, the $7k-$9k range became the bottom zone (excluding the “312” extreme event).
With LTH net positions bottoming and rising on February 10, 2026, the $62k-$65k
