Have you noticed how $BTC keeps hunting both sides of the book before it even picks a real direction?
Most traders get wrecked on these sessions because they chase the first squeeze with too much leverage, then have no room left when the reversal liquidates them.
Bitcoin pumped during the Asia session, squeezed shorts and ran toward $87K. The reversal hit fast. $BTC dropped $2,200 in four hours, retested $84K and flushed roughly $250 million in leveraged longs. Shorts got trapped on the way up. Longs got trapped on the way down. That is what happens when leverage piles up too quickly. The market often punishes both sides before it chooses a direction.
Watch open interest instead of every candle. Cut size when leverage builds this fast. Sit out the first two-way squeeze. Look for entries only after $BTC has flushed the late money and starts holding a level. $ETH usually prints the same pattern right after.
Where do you think this goes from here?
