$BTCST just cleared another round in the liquidation war.
Yesterday price slipped under $66K and about $177M in longs got taken out. Clean flush. Fear spike. Forced selling did the work.
Today the script flipped. BTC pushed back above $69K and squeezed roughly $140M in shorts. Same mechanics, different side. That’s what range environments look like when leverage builds on both ends.
HTF still boxed. LTF showing sweep behavior, not trend conviction.
Below, liquidity remains thick between $63K–$65K. That pocket hasn’t been fully resolved. If momentum stalls, it’s still a valid magnet. Above, the $69K–$71K cluster is being tested now. If that wall gets absorbed and accepted, the path opens toward higher liquidity pools.
Markets don’t move because people hope. They move because positioning gets too crowded.
Right now it’s leverage versus leverage. One side has to give cleanly.
Do bulls finish the job above $71K… or does price revisit lower liquidity one more time before choosing? #Bitcoin #Crypto
Price Structure – The upward pushes cannot maintain the amplitude and are quickly returned when entering the 0.14 area. The price has not formed a higher quality peak, while the downward reactions are starting to become clear and have better opening, indicating that the rebound is only corrective in a downtrend structure.
Liquidity & Order Flow – The upward strength fades early, each time it rises, active selling appears. In contrast, the downward movements start to go smoothly and have better follow-through, reflecting that supply is gradually controlling the movement.
Market Psychology – Buyers are uncomfortable holding profits after the rebound, while sellers return regularly when the market shows some strength. The general feeling is quite heavy, leaning more towards distribution than accumulation.
If sellers continue to maintain dominance around 0.140, the scenario of sliding lower remains the advantageous direction.
Price Structure – After a strong increase, the price could not maintain the expanded range and began to show quick reversal reactions in the 20+ area. No higher peaks have been confirmed sustainably, while the downward phases are becoming clearer, indicating the risk of shifting from expansion to deeper correction.
Liquidity & Order Flow – The strength of the upward trend is clearly fading when hitting the high area, with sell orders appearing proactively instead of waiting for a breakdown. The downward movement is starting to smooth out and has better follow-through, reflecting that supply is taking advantage of the momentum to distribute.
Market Psychology – After the surge, buyers are no longer confident in holding profits as the price does not continue to expand. Sellers return at the right moment, shifting the sentiment from excitement to caution and taking profits early.
If sellers continue to maintain the proactive stance below 20.6, the scenario of sliding lower remains the advantageous direction.
Price Structure – The upward pushes can no longer maintain the amplitude as before, continuously being pushed back after approaching the 0.50 area. The price has not formed a reliable higher peak, while the downward reaction is starting to become clearer and has better opening, indicating that the rebound is merely corrective.
Liquidity & Order Flow – The upward strength is fading quite quickly, each rise is met with active selling. In contrast, the downward movements are smoother and have better follow-through, reflecting that supply is gradually controlling the flow.
Market Psychology – Buyers are no longer comfortable holding profits after the previous surge, while sellers are taking advantage of the high region to redistribute. The market feels quite heavy, leaning towards profit-taking and defense rather than continuing to expand upward.
If sellers continue to maintain the initiative below 0.500, the scenario of sliding lower still has an advantage.
That level has a habit of showing up when the market feels heavy. Historically, once MVRV slips under 1, the average holder is underwater. That’s usually when fatigue replaces excitement. Not the loud panic phase, more the slow bleed where weak hands give up and stronger capital absorbs quietly. We’re not below 1 yet, but we’re close enough for it to matter. From a structure standpoint, HTF hasn’t broken down. LTF still rotating inside a broader range. If MVRV dips under 1 while price holds key supports, that’s where asymmetry tends to build. Not instant rallies, just groundwork. Important difference: undervaluation doesn’t mean immediate expansion. It often means time. Compression. Boredom. Market rarely rewards impatience in this zone. So the question isn’t just whether MVRV goes under 1. It’s how price behaves if it does.
$BTC respected the liquidity map almost to the dollar.
Yesterday the thick band between $68.3K–$69.2K was obvious. Price pushed into it, cleared the cluster, then rotated lower and tapped the $65K pocket with precision. Not prediction. Just liquidity being taken.
HTF still inside range. LTF doing what it does best — sweeping one side, then the other. Stops above resistance, stops below support. That’s the real fuel, not trendlines.
When those heatmap bands light up, you’re not looking at support or resistance in the textbook sense. You’re looking at positioning that can be forced out. Once cleared, the market searches for the next pool.
Now the imbalance shifts again. Which side is overexposed? Where is the next cluster thick enough to matter?
Price doesn’t move randomly. It migrates toward liquidity.
The only question now is which pocket gets targeted next.
Right under price, between $63.7K and $65K, there’s a clear pocket of low-leverage longs. Stops sitting tight. If the market wants fuel, that’s an easy sweep. One flush there triggers forced selling and opens the book quickly. Above, around $70K, shorts are stacking. That cluster is thicker. Bigger prize. HTF still range-bound. LTF showing hesitation, not commitment. This is the kind of structure where price hunts one side first before revealing intent. If $63.7K–$65K gets swept but then reclaimed, that changes the tone fast. Absorption there could flip momentum and send price squeezing toward the $70K zone. But if that region breaks clean and holds below, structure tilts bearish and continuation lower becomes the path of least resistance.
Right now it’s not about bias. It’s about which liquidity pool gets tapped first and how price behaves after. Direction follows fuel.
This wasn’t a normal dip. In about 90 minutes roughly $3.6T evaporated across assets. Gold dropped nearly 4%, silver closer to 9%, equities lost hundreds of billions, and crypto slid with them. When everything sells at once, it’s not rotation. It’s stress.
From a structure perspective, $BTC didn’t break HTF support yet, but LTF showed forced selling. That kind of synchronized move usually means leverage somewhere had to unwind. Not a narrative trade. A margin call trade.
Liquidity didn’t rotate. It exited.
When gold, stocks, and crypto all flush together, it signals capital tightening. That’s the kind of move that forces positioning to reset across desks. The market doesn’t ask permission in those moments.
Psychology shifts fast in these environments. Fear spikes, then confusion. People look for headlines to explain what price already did. But the sequence matters: price breaks, liquidity thins, narratives follow.
Now the focus is simple. Does $BTC hold key HTF levels and absorb the shock, or does this spill into a broader breakdown? If this was just a forced unwind, stabilization comes quickly. If liquidity stress continues, volatility expands again.
This isn’t about panic or optimism yet. It’s about whether the system absorbed the hit.
Markets reveal cracks before they reveal direction.
$BTC just cleared $500M in liquidations inside 24 hours.
This isn’t random chop. It’s leverage getting dragged across the board. Price pushed above $68K three different times, wiping over $200M in shorts. Then flipped hard, revisiting $66K repeatedly and clearing roughly $300M in longs. Both sides stepped in early, both sides paid for it. HTF still boxed. LTF is pure sweep behavior. Now the heatmap shows stacked liquidity below between $63K–$66K. That pocket hasn’t been fully cleaned yet. But the heavier cluster sits higher, around $69K–$72K, almost double the size. That’s where positioning looks crowded again. When liquidity builds uneven like this, price usually moves toward the larger pool first. It’s not about direction, it’s about fuel.
Right now sentiment feels confused. Shorts don’t trust the bounce. Longs don’t trust the hold. That’s usually when the market chooses speed over clarity. Does it squeeze toward $72K before rolling over… or print one more fake breakdown to grab lower liquidity first? Structure hasn’t confirmed. It’s just rotating inside a loaded range.
Whales Accumulating While Price Stalls — Is 2022 Repeating?
$BTC is trading around 66,996 and still stuck inside a short-term corrective structure. No clean reversal on the chart yet, but on-chain tells a slightly different story. Whales have been quietly adding while price drifts. That combination usually makes the market feel uneasy — sentiment weak, positioning cautious, structure undecided.
SOPR hovering around 1, even dipping below, shows a lot of holders selling at breakeven or at a loss. That’s typical of a cleansing phase. Weak hands rotate out. But cleansing is not the same as reversal. Exhaustion can last longer than people expect.
Meanwhile wallets holding 10,000–100,000 BTC have added roughly 70,000 BTC this month. Supply is moving off exchanges into larger hands. We’ve seen this before. Early 2022 had similar accumulation patterns — whales building size while price chopped sideways for months. Important detail: back then, price didn’t explode right after accumulation. It compressed. Time did more work than price. Right now $BTC is holding above the 65,000–66,000 pocket, but keeps getting rejected near 70,600. That tells me supply is still active overhead. If 65,000 holds, this can continue as a broad range, absorption underneath, rotation above. Lose that level and 63,000 or even 60,000 becomes natural liquidity targets. For a real structural shift, reclaiming 78,000 and holding it would change the tone. Until that happens, upside moves feel more like technical relief than confirmed expansion.
There’s a divergence forming — retail cautious, whales accumulating. Long term that tends to matter. Short term, structure still needs to prove itself. Maybe this is base-building. Maybe it’s just another rotation inside a larger correction. Market hasn’t decided yet. $BTC
Price Structure – The correction phase does not break the main structure, the price reacts well when it hits the area of 1.35 and has not created a new lower low. Recent bounces have shown better openness compared to the downward trend, suggesting the market is transitioning from a weakening phase to accumulation for the next expansion step.
Liquidity & Order Flow – Selling pressure has clearly decreased as the price moves into this area, the downward spikes are quickly caught and there is no strong follow-through. Buying orders are appearing more consistently, while the upward movement is starting to flow smoothly and has clearer rhythms, reflecting liquidity is leaning towards demand.
Market Psychology – Sellers can no longer maintain their decisiveness after the adjustment, while buyers are returning with a patient attitude instead of chasing the price. The market feels less heavy, gradually shifting towards building a base rather than continuing to sell off.
As long as 1.27 is held, the current structure still supports the scenario of expansion to the upper levels if demand continues to hold.
Price Structure – After a correction phase, the price reacts clearly at the 66k–67k area and has not created a new lower low. Recent rebounds have better margins and maintain a gradually higher low structure, indicating that this is likely a pullback in the trend rather than the start of a new downward leg.
Liquidity & Order Flow – Selling pressure decreases quickly as the price approaches this area, buy orders appear more proactively. The down thrusts are caught early and do not have strong follow-through, while the upward side starts to move smoothly and has a clearer rhythm — a sign that cash flow is re-establishing positions.
Market Psychology – After the shakeout, sellers can no longer push deeply. Buyers return patiently rather than excitedly, creating a sense that the market is building a foundation for the next expansion.
As long as 64,200 is held, the current structure still supports the scenario of gradually moving up to higher levels if demand continues to be maintained.
$DYM just had a pretty clean impulse from the base 0.040, expanding vertically with accompanying volume rather than a dry push.
As long as the price stays above 0.052, the structure leans more towards continuation rather than exhaustion. LTF is clearly following the trend, HTF has just started to change its tone, and I haven't seen strong supply pressure yet.
Entry: 0.0545 – 0.0565 Stop Loss: 0.0510
TP1: 0.0600 TP2: 0.0640 TP3: 0.0700
Liquidity below is thinner than above, just the way I want to see after a breakout from the base. The movement isn't parabolic yet, still a controlled push with absorption at small pullbacks.
I consider this momentum until the market proves otherwise. If it holds 0.052, the path is still open; if it doesn't hold, the Stop Loss will do its job.
$BERA is pulling back after a very strong increase.
The price shot straight up above 1.30 then was strongly rejected. Currently, it is around support at 0.92, this area could be a temporary bottom or just a stopping point before further decline. I prefer to see stability before considering buying.
Entry: 0.90 – 0.94 Stop Loss: 0.84
TP1: 1.02 TP2: 1.12 TP3: 1.25
LTF is rotating after a phase of excitement, HTF is not really light yet. The liquidity below is thinner, so the risks are still clear. With a coin that fluctuates like this, I reduce size and take profits faster than usual.
There are no heroic trades here, just a controlled attempt if the market can maintain the rhythm.
$BEAT — early signals indicate that the bridge is gradually gaining rhythm.
LONG $BEAT Entry: market SL: 0.2317 TP1: 0.2549 TP2: 0.2652 TP3: extend if accepted above TP2
Price Structure – The price is stabilizing above nearby support zones and has stopped making new lower lows. Recent bounces have been narrower compared to the downtrend, indicating that the structure is shifting from weakness to positive accumulation in preparation for an expansion phase.
Liquidity & Order Flow – The dips have been quickly pulled back without creating follow-through from the selling side. Buy orders are starting to appear more consistently, especially as the price retests support, reflecting that liquidity is gradually shifting towards demand.
Market Psychology – Defensive sentiment has eased, and sellers can no longer push deeper. Buyers are cautiously participating but with intent, creating a sense that the market is building a base instead of continuing to sell off.
As long as 0.2317 is held, the current structure still supports a scenario targeting the higher levels.
I’ve seen this movie a few times. When the model stays pinned high for too long, the market usually doesn’t drift sideways — it resets hard before the next stretch. In past cycles the real moves started after the index washed back toward zero, the zone where leverage feels clean again.
What we have now looks like two sharp legs down in a row, similar to that mid-2024 pattern that later turned into months of steady upside. Back-to-back stress often shows up near the end of a correction, not at the beginning of a collapse.
The trigger I’m watching is simple: a decisive reset of the index toward minimum risk. That’s when the board feels purged and new fuel can build. Until then it’s just noise and positioning.
Extreme readings don’t automatically mean panic. More often they mean preparation while nobody wants to look.
I’m not predicting a date, only watching the transition. Compression first, expansion later — that rhythm hasn’t changed.
February is usually the part that grinds emotions the most. Not a violent collapse, just enough negativity stretched over time to make confidence leak out. For me it’s never the size of loss that hurts, it’s the fog that makes me question every decision.
March tends to soften the picture. $BTC often crawls out of the prior down slope, LTF shows small reclaim, HTF feels less heavy. Liquidity returns in thin layers, more sweeps on both sides than real commitment.
April and May usually bring optimism. Volume improves, targets like 180k–200k get mentioned everywhere, and I’ve been pulled into that mood before, thinking a new expansion had truly started.
June is where confidence peaks. When agreement gets too thick, risk quietly grows. July becomes the month of deleveraging, liquidations cleaning the table with no mercy. By August, if structure hasn’t held, the bear face shows itself clearly.
After watching a few rounds I learned one thing: by the time most people understand where they are in the cycle, half the road is already behind. Risk management always arrives after excitement, never with it. #BTC
Price Structure – The price has decisively broken out of the prolonged compression zone and maintained above the breakout point. The pullbacks are shallow and corrective, while the upward movement shows a clear impulsive form, indicating that the structure has transitioned to a continuation phase.
Liquidity & Order Flow – After the breakout, all retests are quickly absorbed, with no follow-up selling. Buying orders are actively appearing around 0.023+, the upward movement is smooth with a good slope, reflecting that liquidity is strongly tilted towards demand.
Market Psychology – Position holders show high confidence, not rushing to exit during small fluctuations. Sellers appear hesitant as they cannot pull the price back to the old range, creating a favorable environment for the continuation of the upward trend.
As long as 0.0212 is held, the scenario of moving up to higher levels still has a clear advantage.
Price Structure – The price has returned to hold the important support area after a short shakeout. The way the market reacted at 0.0158 indicates that the structure is no longer a downward momentum, small lows are starting to be raised, and the upward range is clearer compared to previous retracements.
Liquidity & Order Flow – The dips below are pulled back quite quickly, not creating follow-through on the sell side. As the price rises, the order flow becomes smoother and less abruptly blocked, reflecting that demand is gradually controlling the pace of movement around this area.
Market Psychology – After a period of hesitation, buyers are becoming more confident in protecting their positions. Sellers can no longer push deeper, creating a sense that the market has shifted from defense to gradually accumulating.
As long as 0.0146 is held, the current structure still supports the scenario of expanding upward to the levels above.
$ADA sitting at a thin line between $0.30 and $0.22.
Price got rejected hard and now resting near that short-term base around $0.25. Not a place for confidence, more a place to watch who actually shows up. If buyers manage to reclaim the $0.26–$0.27 pocket, a push back toward $0.29–$0.31 starts to make sense. That zone would be the first real test of whether this is just a pause or the start of something cleaner. Two paths on my screen: - Hold above $0.25–$0.24 and the door stays open for a crawl back to $0.30. Lose that floor and the chart points lower, with $0.22–$0.20 looking like the next area where accumulation might live. - Right now it feels more like hesitation than direction. LTF trying to find balance, HTF still heavy, liquidity sitting on both sides waiting to be touched.
I’m not choosing a story here. Reaction at this level will decide who gets control, not my opinion.
