If the price of Bitcoin reaches $72,000, it would act as a “fuse,” triggering the breakthrough of the $75,000 psychological barrier.
Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) hitting $72,000 would spark a wave of mass liquidations, paving the way to new all-time highs, according to analyst Willy Woo.
Woo <a href="https://x.com/woonomic/status/1798169693771194825" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">wrote</a> in a June 5 X post to his 1.1 million followers:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Tapping $72k is the fuse set to start a liquidation cascade. $1.5b of short positions ready to be liquidated all the way up to $75k and a new all-time high.”

Bitcoin price broke out of a significant two-week downtrend on June 3, wrote Rekt Capital in an X <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1797569078548369745" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a>:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Bitcoin broke its two-week downtrend today. However, we have seen upside wicks beyond this downtrend before. Which is why a Daily Close later today is needed to confirm this breakout.”

However, Bitcoin still needs to turn the $72,000 resistance into support, before it enters the “parabolic phase” of the bull cycle, <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1798029787761692896/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to Rekt Capital.
