<p>The Bitcoin price is facing some resistance at $66,000 recently amid strong selling action in the market. However, some market analysts earlier predicted that if MicroStrategy invests its convertible notes to Bitcoins, then we can see a <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/bitcoin-price-ready-to-skyrocket-after-microstrategys-500m-move-to-buy-btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC price bounce</a> back to $72,000.</p> 
<p>On the other hand, data from CoinGlass shows that if the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC price</a> reaches closer to $70,000, a massive $1.67 billion in short positions will be liquidated.</p>
