Carl Runefelt: BTC CME gaps at $84,000 and $67,000 could trigger major liquidations
BTC CME gaps spark liquidation risk

Carl Runefelt, industry influencer, highlights that BTC currently has two significant CME price gaps at $84,000 and $67,000. According to Runefelt, if BTC moves to fill the $84,000 CME gap, $2,500,000,000 in short positions will be liquidated. Conversely, if BTC price drops to fill the $67,000 CME gap, $16,000,000,000 in long positions will face liquidation.

Runefelt previously identified $5.23 billion in short and $13.28 billion in long liquidations as drivers of increased volatility, according to a recent post. He has also tracked BTC declines of more than 10 percent following each FOMC meeting since Q4 2025, as detailed in a separate report. These observations add further context to current liquidation risk around CME price gaps.
