Bitcoin slips under $80,000 as May 14 liquidation data flags $1B long-risk below $78,000
Bitcoin broke below $80,000 after hotter-than-expected US inflation data and briefly dipped to $78,725 before rebounding to around $79,500. The move has concentrated leverage near $78,000, where a further drop could trigger about $1 billion in long liquidations, while a rebound toward $80,458 could put roughly $640 million of shorts at risk. Spot demand indicators have softened alongside reported spot Bitcoin ETF outflows of more than $800 million this week.

BTC was down 1.42% over the past 24 hours at the time of publication.
