BTC MARKET UPDATE — LIQUIDITY OR REVERSAL?

The recent $BTC C wick around $80K has definitely raised questions.

CPI data came in close to expectations, while Core CPI YoY remained higher than forecast. The overall data was neutral to slightly bearish — so the real question is:

Why did BTC create such a powerful upside wick?

My view is that this could have been a major liquidity move. The strong green candles created FOMO and fresh exit liquidity, allowing bigger players to secure positions above the $79.5K area.

Now, keep these dates on your radar:

15 SEPTEMBER
Clarity Act decision — currently carrying high rejection expectations.

16 SEPTEMBER
Fed rate decision — markets are watching closely for a possible 25 bps move.

18 SEPTEMBER
BOJ rate decision — another potential source of volatility for global markets.

KEY BTC LEVELS

Technically, $76,700 is the important confirmation zone.

A strong close below this level could open the path toward $69,000.

But there is another level we cannot ignore:

$83,000

If BTC retests that wick and fails again, it could become another major liquidity event, with $64,000 becoming a deeper downside target.

For now, volatility is likely to remain high.

BTC scalp remains in profit, currently above a 1:2 risk-to-reward setup.

And $ETH TH?
After that strong bullish move, I’m watching for a possible return toward the area where the previous major move started.

Stay sharp. Watch the dates. Watch the levels.

What do you think — liquidity grab or the beginning of a bigger reversal?
