The report "Bitcoin liquidity balance hints at developing rally toward $80K" describes a concrete shift in local wallets and aggregated payments. Data show Bitcoin futures traders are pursuing overhead short positions, raising the chance of a rally to $80,000. A liquidity imbalance in Bitcoin (BTC) is building near $80,000, with more than $4 billion in short positions vulnerable to liquidation above that level. The setup strengthened after Bitcoin defended support near $76,100 for two days and formed bullish signals on the lower time frames. On the one-hour chart, Bitcoin formed a bullish divergence between the price and the relative strength index (RSI), with improving momentum and higher lows near $76,100, suggesting underlying buying strength. BTC also retested $78,000 on Thursday after defending the $76,100 support level multiple times this week.

A move above $78,000 could expose the fair-value gap (FVG) between $79,500 and $80,300, a low-liquidity price zone created during a sharp prior selloff that BTC price could revisit to fill the untraded range before continuing its next move. CoinGlass liquidation data show that the largest concentration of leveraged risk is above current price levels.
