The upper liquidity has been cleared for the most part, and the dense area below is concentrated around 60K.
This structure usually implies two things: either continue searching upward for new liquidity, or get pulled in by the big magnet below.
“The key is not to get shaken out” makes sense, but the prerequisite is that you confirm the direction you’re taking is correct.
My approach is to look at how price responds at this level—without assuming it must go to 60K, and without stubbornly holding just because someone shouted it.
The credit market senses risk earlier than the stock market.
Oracle’s bond yields are about 2.5 percentage points higher than 30-year U.S. Treasuries, and the risk premium investors require is already nearing junk-bond levels.
If a rating downgrade triggers index exclusion, passive funds would be forced to sell, further pushing up financing costs.
For BTC, this is neither a direct positive nor negative, but once credit stress spreads, liquidity across all risk assets will be tightened.
Tracking the CDS trend is more informative than watching stock prices.
#BTC was pushed from $87,400 down to $82,800, with roughly $1.1 billion liquidated within 48 hours.
Below the $80,000–$83,000 range, there’s another roughly $1.3 billion in liquidity that could be swept.
However, above $85,000–$89,000 sits a pile of about $2.7 billion in liquidation clusters—judging by liquidity, that’s the area more likely to be touched next.
#ETH Short positions surge 8,300% in two weeks, reaching a new high since June 2022—truly astonishing numbers.
But the large short positions on Bitfinex may not necessarily be directional bets.
They could be hedges, arbitrage, or neutral market-maker positions.
Reading these positions straight as “someone has insider information,” while ignoring the exchange users’ composition and motives.
A large short position doesn’t mean it’s destined to fall, nor does it mean a squeeze is inevitable—it depends on which direction the price moves first.
🚨 I warned about the risks for this $85K position before it happened.
Now the price action of #BTC is starting to confirm that assessment. If it continues to follow the structure, there may be even more downside room ahead.
My expected path is:
$85K → $72K → $67K → $60K → $48K
When the candlesticks turn green, everyone thinks it’s safe.
The real risk often builds up in times like this.
A few bullish candles won’t change my medium-term view—$48K is still the target level I’m watching.
