Glassnode has flagged a concentration of leveraged Bitcoin trades below the current market price amid deteriorating liquidity and extreme fear. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹60,59,261 ($64,281.00), up 1.7% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoin.com, with live market data added, as of Sun, 15 Nov 2026 02:30:02 UTC.
If the market remains near this leverage cluster, forced liquidations could add selling pressure and extend Bitcoin’s decline. The warning is especially relevant as trading liquidity is shrinking and the broader crypto market is moving lower.

- Bitcoin’s Leverage Cluster Near $60K Raises Liquidation Risk — this brief
Bitcoin.com reported that Glassnode has identified a large concentration of leveraged Bitcoin trades near $60,000, below the asset’s prevailing price. The on-chain analytics firm cautioned that forced selling from these positions could further weaken the market if Bitcoin approaches the cluster, according to the single supplied report.
The warning came alongside a deterioration in market conditions. Bitcoin.com said liquidity was shrinking while losses on bullish bets were increasing pressure across crypto markets, leaving leveraged traders exposed as the asset continued to decline. The report did not provide the cluster’s exact size or specify how much additional selling could result.
The risk mechanism is straightforward: Bitcoin moving closer to the identified area could trigger liquidations, while reduced liquidity may make it harder for buyers to absorb that supply. Bitcoin was trading at $63,211, placing it only about $3,200 above the reported $60,000 area, based on the supplied live data. The broader crypto market was also broadly lower.
Market indicators reflect the strain surrounding the warning. Bitcoin has fallen 7.31% over 24 hours and 16.27% over seven days, while total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.2 trillion. The Fear and Greed Index is at 10, categorized as Extreme Fear. Traders and market observers will be watching whether Bitcoin’s price and liquidity conditions bring more of the flagged leverage into play; the report itself does not forecast a particular price outcome.
