BRN Analyst: Maintains Bullish View, Expects Market to Rebound by End of the Week
On February 27th, BRN analyst Valentin Fournier said, "President Donald Trump of the United States announced the potential of imposing a 25% tariff on European goods, once more triggering investors' fears and resulting in the cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index dropping to 10, which is in the extremely fearful territory."
While some are concerned about the onset of a bear market, history indicates that a 25% pullback is rather common during a bull market cycle. Additionally, the United States' efforts to establish a national cryptocurrency reserve still serve as a significant long-term catalyst. We maintain a bullish attitude and anticipate that the market will rebound before the end of this week. We continuously increase our holdings in Solana and remain neutral towards BTC and ETH.

Greeks.live: Traders See $82,000 as Crucial Bitcoin Support Level

If Bitcoin drops below $83,000, the mainstream CEX long liquidation pressure will reach 349 million.
On February 27th, based on Coinglass data, if Bitcoin drops beneath $83,000, the cumulative strength of long liquidation on mainstream CEXs will reach 349 million.
Conversely, if Bitcoin exceeds $87,000, the cumulative strength of short liquidation on mainstream CEXs will reach 171 million.
BlockBeats Notes: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the precise value of the contracts to be liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the significance of each liquidation cluster in relation to adjacent liquidation clusters, that is, strength.
Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what degree the underlying price will be impacted when it reaches a particular level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that the price will have a more pronounced reaction due to a liquidity avalanche once it attains that level.
