This is getting seriously interesting again.

$BTC dropped from $82,300 to $78,600 over the weekend, triggering around $1.4B in liquidations.

The key point: $80,000 was the critical breakout level, and once it failed, the liquidity below was exposed exactly as expected.

Bitcoin now has roughly $2.3B in liquidity below between $76,500–$78,500, while another $2.3B sits above between $80,500–$83,000. HTF liquidity is now almost perfectly balanced, giving neither side a clear advantage.

On the LTF, major liquidity clusters sit around $78,400–$78,900 below and $79,900–$81,000 above, making a sweep of either zone increasingly likely.

Whales continue showing strong buying interest around $78K–$79K, while heavy sell walls remain above $80K through $83K. Buyers are defending the downside, but bulls still need to absorb significant supply before I trust another breakout.

Spot demand has weakened, Coinbase Premium remains negative, and OI is only beginning to recover as futures traders turn bullish again. Leverage is returning, but I still want stronger spot demand before turning bullish.

Key levels:

- $79K–$80K support has failed
- $78.6K downside sweep is complete
- $78.9K and $79.9K are key LTF zones
- HTF liquidity is balanced
- Reclaim $80K–$81K = bulls regain control
- Lose $78.4K = another downside sweep becomes likely
