60K is definitely a key level structurally. But the bigger tell right now is what happens in positioning around it. If OI keeps compressing and funding stays neutral, breaks are less likely to expand immediately. Market still looks like it’s working through a reset rather than ready for a full cycle restart.

$60K is the last line of defense before the macro trendline Every cycle $BTC has returned to that trendline It's sitting near $40K right now If $60K holds, the cycle survives If it breaks, $40K becomes the bottom and accumulation starts over Watch these two levels Nothing else matters right now

@CryptoCon_ These cycle indicators are useful, but they lag positioning shifts. Right now we’re seeing compression in OI and more balanced funding, which points to reset rather than full bear continuation. Macro signals matter, but liquidity + positioning tends to lead the actual move.

In the bear market zone of the monthly stochastic RSI, right on time. According to the typical time frame once it's entered, the bear market will last until November of this year, which lines up with the Halving Cycles Theory. The big thought now is "This all seems too easy, surely something has to be different!". And it will be, but the differences are typically subtle. the Bitcoin cycle has always found its way to stay on track.

@cryptorover Looks weak on structure, agreed. But underneath that, leverage has already been reduced and funding isn’t stretched. That combination usually leads to chop, not immediate continuation down. Weak price doesn’t always mean weak conditions.

Bitcoin looks weak here 😳

Everyone’s mapping the same structure, which usually means the move won’t be that clean. Recent flow has already shown deleveraging on the downside and no aggressive spot exit. That’s not typical “cascade lower” behaviour yet. More likely we keep chopping and clearing positioning before any real trend decides.

$BTC If history repeats, BTC drops sub 60k in less than 30 days New bottom coming soon - turn notifs on, I’ll update

Cycles rhyme, but positioning is completely different this time. Last move wasn’t peak euphoria, it was a leverage build that already got partially flushed. OI has rolled off and funding cooled. That’s not how major cycle tops usually form. Feels more like a reset phase than the start of a full unwind.

This chart has perfectly called every Bitcoin bottom. If this pattern holds, $BTC will dump below $30,000 in 12 days. Ignore it if you want, but don’t act like I didn’t warn you.

@BogeyGraveyard @seth_fin All good 😄 happens to the best of us

@InvestaHepps @seth_fin my bad 😞

$BTC is above 70K important level. There are both long and short leverage liquidation clusters below and above. Always the question if a long sweep come first or short?

@CryptoJelleNL When price starts compressing like this, it’s usually a positioning reset more than anything else. Those environments are where you tend to get sharp, short-lived moves in both directions. Not trend — just liquidity clearing.

$BTC - Looks like Bart is going to pull his prank any minute now 👀

@TedPillows DXY strength is definitely a headwind, but it’s not always immediate. The key is whether it translates into tighter financial conditions over time. That’s when you start to see it show up in crypto liquidity, not necessarily on the first move.

$DXY breakout and retest have happened. This chart is telling only one thing. Things will get worse before they get better.

@George1Trader Agree on the range, but the breakout will depend less on the level and more on participation. Without expansion in OI + spot demand, breaks above tend to fail. That’s been the pattern in this current environment.

#btc Blue is key supply lining up with OTE and range highs. As long as we're below that, we're simply in the $62k-74k range. Break above is what I consider a breakout at which point Ill target $80k+

@ArdiNSC This ties directly into positioning as well. When everyone is hedged in both directions, it usually means there’s no conviction — and that’s when liquidity becomes thin. Thin liquidity is what allows sharp moves, not strong directional belief.

What you’re going to see a lot of on this platform over the coming weeks is clout hedging. People saying things like: “We probably bottom at $40K, but I’m buying here.” Or: “I’m keeping my shorts open, but we might go higher.” Pay attention to that. Because that is reputation management traders are larping as their "analysis." They want exposure in both directions so they can claim they saw it either way. If price drops, they point to the downside target. If price rallies, they point to the long. A trader with conviction takes a view and lives with being wrong. A clout hedger keeps one foot on each side so they can protect their image when the market chooses for them. That’s why this behaviour matters. It tells you who is actually reading the market… and who is just trying to survive getting dunked on in the timeline. #Bitcoin

@CryptoJelleNL This is exactly where positioning matters more than structure. If this level breaks with rising OI, it likely extends. If it breaks on flat/declining OI, it’s more likely a deviation. Right now feels more like a positioning test than a clean directional move.

We're back at a short-term make-or-break level, both for bulls, and bears. Reject here, and bears are in full control, whereas a reclaim means bulls are back in the drivers' seat. NY open in 30. Should be an interesting afternoon. $BTC

@GordonGekko ETH.D looks constructive, but I’d be careful calling for parabolic alts just yet. From a liquidity perspective, we’re still in a stabilisation phase — not full expansion. You typically need sustained inflows + improving breadth before that kind of move follows through.

$ETH Dominance is on the brink of EXPLODING. Alts will go parabolic. Connect the dots.

@siredwardceo You can usually see this in the data as well. If OI is elevated and funding is skewed going into an event, the move is more likely to be aggressive. If positioning is already flushed, reactions tend to be weaker and fade faster.

Most people interpret the move through the lens of the event itself. What I’m pointing to is what’s happening before the event. Going into something like FOMC, you typically see: •leverage come down •positioning get lighter •liquidity thin out That creates the conditions for a move. So when the event hits, price reacts aggressively — not because of the news alone, but because of how the market was positioned beforehand. That’s why sometimes you get sharp moves that fully reverse: there’s no positioning to sustain them. The edge is understanding whether the market is: •crowded (higher risk of squeezes / continuation) •or under-positioned (higher chance of fade) The event is just the trigger. Positioning determines the reaction.

Macro events don’t move markets. Positioning does. It’s not the event itself that matters. It’s positioning going into it. Before events like FOMC: • leverage gets reduced • risk gets trimmed • liquidity gets thinner Then the event hits… Price moves aggressively. Most people think: “The news caused the move” In reality: The move was already set up by liquidity conditions beforehand. If positioning is crowded → volatility expands If positioning is light → moves fade quickly The event doesn’t create the move. It reveals it. The event is just the trigger. Liquidity is the driver.

This is why the market feels confusing to most people. Price looks random. But positioning is structured. If you understand that shift, you stop reacting… and start anticipating.

Markets don’t move because of price. They move because of positioning. Most people watch candles. But the real shift happens underneath them. Open Interest drops. Funding flips. Positions get closed. That’s not a trend forming. That’s risk being removed from the system. Then things go quiet. Open Interest stabilises. Price starts ranging. Sentiment turns bearish. This is where most people get it wrong. Because while everyone is focused on price doing nothing… positioning is rebuilding. And when positioning rebuilds, the next move begins.

This is what a positioning reset looks like. Open interest gets built, flushed, then rebuilt again. Funding never stays extreme for long. Leverage keeps getting cleared. So price looks stuck, but structurally the market is rebalancing. Until positioning can build without being wiped, you don’t get trend… you get this.

$BTC has been grabbing 100s Millions USD in liquidity each time it pumps and dumps in this narrow range. Each time we are at swing low the bears are loud calling for 30K. "WW3 and Recession is coming" Each time we are at swing high, the bulls call for Euphoria. "200K is coming" Each time the degens using leverage fails and get liquidated. Meanwhile the whales just accumulate more BTC on spot no leverage.

Interesting way to frame it. What stands out to me right now isn’t just “where we are” in the cycle, but how positioning is behaving underneath it. From recent data: Open interest has come off, funding has cooled, and leverage has reset. That typically aligns with accumulation conditions… but driven by positioning, not just long-term holder behaviour. So the question becomes: Is this true HTF accumulation, or a positioning reset before the next move?

You need to see this... VDD Multiple is a metric I use to identify where $BTC sits within the market cycle. The colors represent accumulation, expansion, and late cycle risk. Right now, on the HTF, we’re in green. Low old coin activity = fewer sellers. This is the phase where accumulation happens on the HTF.
