Bitcoin dropped below seventy grand fast, and it felt like déjà vu. The kind you get when the market suddenly remembers it’s still a high leverage casino. Over seven hundred million in long positions got wiped out, but here’s the catch: open interest hasn’t seen a full flush. That means leverage is still stacked high, waiting for the next move. And it’s not just longs sitting on the table. Over fourteen billion in short liquidations are still hanging above the market, stretching all the way up to eighty three thousand. That’s a lot of dry powder just waiting for a catalyst.
Technically, we’re watching two things like a hawk. The 200 weekly moving average is the first line in the sand. If Bitcoin holds there, the damage might be contained. Below that, there’s a massive order block between sixty three and sixty four thousand. That’s where the real battle will play out. If buyers step in, we could see a quick rebound. If not, we’re looking at a break of the lows.
Now, let’s talk about the 2023 bear market bottom. That was a classic case of leverage exhaustion, where every last long and short got flushed out, and the market found a floor. This time, it’s different. We’ve got a lot of leverage still in the system, but we haven’t made a new lower low. That’s the key difference. If Bitcoin holds above sixty two thousand, this could be a strong DCA opportunity. The smart money isn’t panicking they’re waiting for the dust to settle.
Here’s the thing: markets don’t move in straight lines. They correct, they reset, and then they move on. The traders who treat this as a buying opportunity will be the ones who come out ahead. The rest will be left wondering why they sold into the chaos. Right now, the question isn’t whether Bitcoin will bounce. It’s how far it will go when it does. And if history is any guide, the next leg up could be just around the corner.
