#BTC Quick update:
If $BTC holds 59,150 as support, we play the bounce. Otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised to see a flush to grab liquidity below the Previous Week Low (58,136) or even the Oct 2024 low (57,311).
Let's see how the Monday open dictates flow. Keep a close eye on $SPX as well—if equities continue to drop this week, hitting those lower BTC targets is highly likely.

#ETH Liquidation Heatmap Update
Heavy long liquidation cascade continues.
The heatmap shows aggressive flushing of high-leverage long positions during the sharp drop. Large red blocks in the $1,550 – $1,700 zone have been swept, with additional pressure visible lower.
Current Situation:
- Price currently near $1,567
- Significant long leverage has been deleveraged in recent days
- Liquidity remains stacked on the downside
This kind of violent long liquidation often signals local capitulation and can set the stage for a relief bounce. However, the structure remains weak.
Watch the $1,550 – $1,580 zone closely for reaction.

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are rebounding today after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh indicated that inflation risks have eased while reaffirming the Federal Reserve’s commitment to its 2% inflation target.
The remarks helped reduce concerns about a more aggressive tightening cycle, improving sentiment across risk assets, with Bitcoin leading the recovery.
The outlook for interest rates remains a key driver of BTC and crypto price action. Should markets continue to scale back expectations for rate hikes in 2026, the current positive momentum may extend further.
BTC has also moved back above the $60,000 level for the time being.
The chart is showing a bullish RSI divergence, where price formed a lower low while the RSI held a higher low. This suggests that bearish momentum may be weakening.

#BTC
It swept the sell-side liquidity below the PWL (58,136) and bounced toward 61k, but took a direct rejection at the 60,877 daily resistance.
Here is the sequence needed for upside continuation:
Hurdle 1: Secure daily acceptance above 60,877.
Hurdle 2: Reclaim 62,950 to confirm the move.
Clearing these levels opens the door for a run toward 65k, 69k, and ultimately 72k.
