300 million dollars in long positions, wiped out overnight
The market reminds everyone in the most direct way: who is the real 'boss'.
The current Bitcoin $BTC is reported at 66,000 dollars, having retraced nearly 50% from the historical high of 126,000.
Sentiment? No need to say much, it has shifted directly from greed to panic.
However, this round of decline is fundamentally not complicated.
The collapse of the bulls, simply put, is four words - excessive leverage.
When everyone is leveraging, the market is just one trigger point away.
The trigger factors this time are quite typical: escalating geopolitical tensions, oil prices back above 100 dollars, and the Federal Reserve's stance remains tough.
Geopolitical conflicts have eased, market sentiment has instantly reversed, and Bitcoin has directly dealt a blow to the shorts.
In just a few hours, over 270 million USD in shorts were liquidated, with the price rebounding from 68,500 to above 71,000, and trading volume surged nearly 90%. This is a typical breakout initiation signal.
The key point is at 71,000 USD, where there is a strong resistance zone and moving average position. Once it effectively stabilizes, it essentially opens up the upper space, with 75K to 80K being basically a "vacuum zone."
The current market structure is very simple:
Shorts are being squeezed, remaining positions are still at higher levels, and if it continues to surge, forced buying will make the market move quickly.
But one must also see clearly that this wave is essentially driven by news.
If the situation fluctuates again and risk sentiment declines, the price can easily pull back to 68,000 or even 65,000.
A summary from Long Ge:
It's not about being bullish or bearish right now, but whether sentiment can be sustained; if sentiment is there, 80,000 is just a matter of time. #BTC☀
Bitcoin has risen for 8 consecutive days, reaching $74,300, during which $143 million in shorts were liquidated, marking the first consecutive rise since December 2020. Reason: Broke through the resistance at $72,500, leading to short covering flooding into buy orders; the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has eased, and oil prices have dropped; investors are preparing for the FOMC meeting. Ethereum performed impressively, rising 7.6%, with a total market capitalization of $2.52 trillion, alleviating market panic. Focus: Resistance at $75,000, support at $72,000; trading volume and the FOMC decision will affect the next wave of trends.
Bitcoin has seen 8 consecutive bullish candles, and it has now reached a critical point. Will it rise or fall next?
I think it's still too early to talk about it. A few days ago, I provided some tokens that have been performing well recently and the resistance point for Bitcoin,
Currently, with 8 bullish candles continuously rising, it is about to touch the resistance point, but there is still some room left, as this space is still over 5000 points;
In my view, how this wave of movement will play out depends on the closing point at the end of this week. If it breaks through the resistance of 80,000 and stabilizes, then all signs indicate a major rebound. Conversely, it will touch the next round of the bear market, which will be a terrifying decline!! #BTC☀
Binance Ecosystem: Market Momentum Continues to Strengthen
Recently, the Binance ecosystem has maintained a strong growth momentum, with the market value of its core asset BNB rising by approximately 3.68% over the past week. Key factors driving this trend include Grayscale's submission of the BNB ETF application in early 2026, as well as Binance's disclosure of a net inflow of $14.8 billion expected by the third quarter of 2025, indicating that institutional interest in the ecosystem is increasing.
From a market perspective, the value of BNB is gradually expanding from a single exchange token to an ecosystem asset with more complete application scenarios.
Moving forward, the market needs to closely monitor the approval progress of the BNB ETF as well as changes in on-chain activity for BNB Chain. #bnb
