$BTC Sunday Update: Liquidity, Price Action, and Potential Manipulation

The $BTC market is experiencing volatility due to tariffs and manipulation, but liquidity levels and price action remain key. The $90k-$91.5k range is crucial for potential liquidations, with a focus on the 1D50EMA and 1W50EMA for compression and possible breakout. A third retest of the 1W50EMA could lead to an aggressive move, but manipulation often influences price action, so strategic positioning is essential.

$BTC Sunday update:

Tariffs chaos and manipulation aside, there are some conclusive ideas and data to know and to be aware of this week.
Let's focus on the liquidity and potential Price Action for the upcoming volatile days. More action incoming...

Liquidations:
Mainly located to the upside in that $90k-$91.5k (psychological level) 👀
Only adding this chart because the liquidation delta is not too unbalanced, currently 15B longs in max. liquidity setting, so not too high at least for now. Over 25B would get my attention.

My ideal scenario for this week is something like this:
Compression between the 1D50EMA and 1W50EMA leads to expansion.
We got 2 retests of the 1W50EMA that reassures me of its strength. Perhaps it's time to start thinking of a potential breakout/shift out the zone.

Could we get a third retest? Why not!
Market often moves in threes (three taps patterrn) and it would even compress price more, leading to a more aggresive move later.
It depends on that yellow line as the mid range and local support. Slightly less likely maybe, but I like it.

Last week's plan ended up playing out even with all the news, chaos and volatility 🔨
I think news are very often only used to manipulate price action in the way they want. So, sometimes it's just better to project that potential manipulation in order to position yourself well.
