$ANTHROPIC BEARS STILL IN CONTROL: Liquidity Swept at 1,896.61 — Is Another Leg Down Coming?
$ANTHROPIC has swept liquidity below 1,896.61, trapping late longs and putting bearish momentum back in focus. Price has recovered to 1,927.71, but the bigger question remains: is this a genuine reversal or just another opportunity for sellers?
Market Structure: BEARISH
The 1H chart continues to show lower highs and lower lows, while the daily trend and BTC market structure remain bearish. Price is trading near 1,927.71, below the key resistance at 1,943.56 and the last confirmed lower high at 1,930.38. Until buyers reclaim these levels with strength, rallies remain vulnerable to selling pressure.
SHORT TRADE SETUP
Entry Zone: 1,927.71–1,940.00
Wait for a bearish engulfing candle, a lower-timeframe structure breakdown, or a clear rejection wick on the 5M or 15M chart before entering. Avoid chasing price without confirmation.
Take-Profit Targets:
TP1: 1,914.30
TP2: 1,906.11
TP3: 1,878.52
TP4: 1,861.00
Invalidation: A sustained 1H close above 1,930.38 would challenge the bearish structure. A strong bullish reclaim of 1,943.56 would provide further evidence that sellers are losing control.
DERIVATIVES FLOW
Open Interest: $44.6M, up 1.4% over 24 hours
Funding Rate: +0.0050%
Taker Buy/Sell Ratio: 0.38x
The reported 0.38x taker ratio suggests aggressive selling dominates the measured flow, while rising open interest indicates growing derivatives exposure. However, these metrics alone cannot confirm whether new positions are predominantly shorts or longs.
MY VERDICT
Bearish bias remains valid while resistance holds, but the liquidity sweep alone does not guarantee another dump. Confirmation is essential before taking a position. Protect capital, manage risk, and never confuse a potential setup with a guaranteed move.
