Upcoming Bitcoin Liquidation “Fishing” Before Weekly Close
Information from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView indicated a reduction in volatility following the $19 billion crypto liquidation incident.
While BTC/USD didn’t show a significant recovery, market observers believe the upcoming week will bring improved performance.
“I can see a potential relief bounce as we move into the weekly and futures open,” trader Skew noted in his latest update on X.
“Both events tend to bring substantial flows from a macro perspective, especially in the current thin market conditions, so it’s wise to be cautious with margin trades, particularly in alts.”
Another trader, HTL-NL, suggested that even though the market remains uncertain, the risk of a significant downturn is minimal.
“It’s difficult to predict how the weekly close and next week will unfold, especially since the legacy markets had little time to react to Trump’s situation,” he shared with his followers on X.
“Nevertheless, I’m not too concerned. A correction was expected anyway, but the events have escalated it into a system breakdown.”
Trading analyst TheKingfisher identified a possible liquidity grab around the $114,000 mark, particularly with many traders taking short positions on BTC.
“Weekends are typically for $BTC range liquidations fishing,” it stated alongside custom market insights.
Insight on BTC Bull Market: “Bearish Outcomes Are Possible”
Caleb Franzen from Cubic Analytics expressed a strongly bullish outlook.

In his latest blog post, he analyzed Bitcoin’s relationship with both its simple (SMA) and exponential (EMA) 200-day moving averages.
“There’s a possibility prices might drop further from here,” he noted.
“Similar to the consolidations seen in August-September 2023, July – September 2024, and February – April 2025, it would be entirely normal for a brief dip below the 200-day MA before a recovery and continuation towards new highs.”
Nonetheless, BTC/USD could still result in a higher low on daily charts — a scenario that Franzen mentioned would keep the uptrend intact.
“If uptrends are simply defined by higher highs and higher lows, then nothing in this consolidation has disrupted the uptrend,” he observed.
“While it’s important to acknowledge that bearish movements can occur during uptrends, as evidenced by this past week, it’s equally crucial to recognize that adopting a bearish stance during an uptrend often leads to losses and underperformance.”
