Cryptocurrency Exchange Analysts Explained: “Bitcoin Should Never Go Below This Level!”

A new report from cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex has addressed Bitcoin’s sharp recovery last week, falling to $89,698 before rising above $100,000 again. The drop below $90,000 triggered a wave of forced liquidations, with $818 million liquidated on January 13, including $592 million in long positions. The report highlights that Bitcoin’s short-term owner cost floor, estimated at $88,400, played a crucial role in halting the sell-off and supporting the recovery. Historically, this cost floor has acted as a reliable support level, with last week’s lows aligning closely with this threshold, triggering renewed buying activity. However, Bitfinex warned that a drop below this key level could put further pressure on prices and potentially lead to additional selling.
