Bitcoin liquidation cluster builds around $70.7k and $78k as leverage creeps back

Coinglass flags $1.64b in $BTC longs at risk below $70,721 and $1.25b in shorts above $78,068 as Bitcoin grinds in a tightly leveraged $70k–$78k range.

According to Coinglass, if Bitcoin ($BTC) falls below $70,721, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) climbs to roughly $1.644 billion. Conversely, if $BTC breaks above $78,068, the platform estimates cumulative short liquidations of about $1.25 billion, underscoring how tightly clustered leverage has become around the current range.

At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on April 14, the price of Bitcoin stood near $74,315, up from about $71,189 a day earlier but still roughly $10,250 lower than a year ago, illustrating how volatility persists even as $BTC trades in the mid‑$70,000s. Prediction markets on Polymarket currently assign roughly a 71% chance that Bitcoin will settle between $74,000 and $76,000 on April 16, with the $72,000 to $74,000 band priced at about 22%, reflecting expectations that $BTC will stay pinned near the middle of the liquidation corridor in the short term.

$BTC leverage builds into tight range

The liquidation bands highlighted by Coinglass suggest that a clean break below $70,721 or above $78,068 could trigger forced selling or buying, amplifying moves as exchanges close out underwater futures positions. In practice, that means spot moves near those levels risk cascading into hundreds of millions of dollars in additional flow as over‑leveraged longs or shorts are flushed.

Recent crypto.news coverage of Bitcoin’s range‑bound trading and liquidity build‑up has pointed to a similar setup, with $BTC grinding sideways while leverage and open interest quietly rise. In another crypto.news story on Brazil’s B3 exchange and its tokenized real‑world asset and stablecoin

Stablecoin issuer Circle faces lawsuit over $230M Drift Protocol hack


Circle Internet Group is facing a class action lawsuit led by a Drift Protocol investor claiming it failed to freeze funds stolen in a $280 million exploit of the protocol on April 1.

The lawsuit was filed by Drift investor Joshua McCollum on behalf of over 100 members in a US district court in Massachusetts on Wednesday, which accused Circle of allowing the attackers to transfer about $230 million worth of $USDC ($USDC) from Solana to Ethereum via Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) over several hours without intervention.

“Circle permitted this criminal use of its technology and services,” attorneys representing McCollum wrote, adding: “These losses would not have occurred, or would have been substantially reduced, had Circle taken timely action.”

The suit accuses Circle of aiding and abetting conversion as well as negligence. Mira Gibb, the law firm representing McCollum and other Drift investors, is seeking damages, with the final amount to be determined at trial.

The case touches on a legal grey area around crypto companies that retain control over user funds. While such companies may have the technical ability to intervene or freeze assets, they often cite regulatory constraints or the lack of immediate legal authority as reasons for inaction — leaving accountability unclear as exploits unfold in real-time.

McCollum’s lawyers pointed out that Circle froze 16 $USDC wallets in connection with a sealed US civil case about a week before the Drift incident to argue that Circle had the technical capacity to do the same.

Cointelegraph reached out to Circle for comment, but didn’t receive an immediate response.

Crypto analytics firm Elliptic suspected the exploit was committed by North Korean state-backed hackers, who made over 100 transacti

#As we move through mid-April 2026, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is witnessing a subtle but persistent uptick in activity. With stablecoin transaction volumes hitting new all-time highs and on-chain swap efficiency becoming a primary focus for institutional capital, the "blue-chip" protocols—Uniswap and Curve—are back in the spotlight. However, while the fundamental "pipes" of DeFi are as busy as ever, their native tokens, UNI and CRV, are currently locked in a battle against heavy multi-month resistance. Uniswap (UNI): Liquidity Winner, Technically Still Mid‐Range Source: tradingview The technical picture is one of early improvement rather than a clean trend reversal. While the 7-day SMA ($3.16) is finally supporting the current price, the 30-day ($3.43) and 200-day ($5.20) moving averages remain significant overhead obstacles. The MACD histogram (+0.0057) is turning up from weak levels, but until the MACD line itself crosses into positive territory, the momentum is best described as "bottom-fishing." TradingView Watchlist: Watch for a daily close above the $3.43 (30-day SMA) level. A sustained break here, accompanied by an RSI-14 climb into the 55–65 band, would signal that the bulls are finally wrestling control back from the sellers. Near-Term Scenario Map Base Case (-15% to +25%): UNI continues to oscillate between $2.70 and $4.00. Continued DEX volume strength keeps the floor intact, but the 200-day MA likely caps any rallies without a massive volume surge. Bullish Path (+30% to +50%): A genuine DeFi comeback pushes UNI toward $4.10–$4.75. This would require a confirmed "DeFi Summer 2.0" rotation and clearly positive MACD signals. Bearish Path (-20% to -30%): If capital rotates into newer narratives like AI infrastructure or RWAs, UNI may drift toward $2.50–$2.20. Curve (CRV): Slightly Better Short‐Term Setup, Still Under Heavy Lid Source: tradingview CRV’s indicators are marginally more constructive. The MACD histogram (+0.0016) is rising, and the

Institutional activity builds behind the move



Derivatives data adds weight to the current trend. At the time of writing, Open Interest (OI) has risen by 20%, suggesting that new positions are entering the market. This is not just a spot-driven rally, as participation is expanding across segments.

Rising OI alongside price typically signals continuation, not exit. It indicates that traders are positioning for further movement rather than closing exposure.

Combined with the Futures launch, this points to growing institutional alignment behind INJ.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Here’s Why the Next Few Days Will Be Crucial for BTC



Bitcoin is trading around $74.7k, holding near its highest levels since the February breakdown, as the recovery momentum built over the past two weeks continues to develop.

The move is encouraging, but $BTC now stands at one of the most technically important junctures of the entire correction, near the confluence of the descending channel’s upper boundary and the 100-day moving average, two levels that have defined the bearish structure for months.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart

For the first time in this correction cycle, $BTC appears to be pressing a genuine breakout attempt above the descending channel, with the price now breaking above the upper boundary near $74k–$75k alongside the declining 100-day MA nearby. The RSI has also climbed into the high-60s, which is the strongest daily momentum reading since before the February crash, and is lending some credibility to the attempt, while also not showing overbought signals.

Whether this becomes a confirmed breakout or another failed one depends on how the price behaves over the next few daily closes. A sustained close above the channel and the $75k–$80k resistance band would be a structural shift of real significance, and would open a path toward $88k–$90k, where the 200-day MA awaits. On the downside, $60k–$62k is the key support that buyers should defend at all costs if the breakout fails.


$BTC/USDT 4-Hour Chart

On the 4-hour chart, $BTC continues to trade inside the mildly ascending channel that has been in place since the February lows. The price has now risen above the midline and is attempting to break above the $74-$76k resistance zone. The 4-hour RSI is also hovering near 60s, which leaves room for a further push without the immediate threat of an RSI-driven rejection like those seen in prior att

PEPE Price Leads Meme Coin Surge as Capital Rotates to Risk Assets
Pepe coin, the frog-themed meme cryptocurrency jumped over 8% during Thursday’s U.S. market hours to hit $0.000004 high. This upswing follows the broader recovery in the meme coin market as capital rotates to higher-risk assets, supported by stable market sentiment. However, a stagnant trend in $PEPE’s open interest indicator suggests a lack of speculative force in the market. Can $PEPE price manage to reclaim the $0.000005 barrier?
