Bitcoin is hovering near key liquidity zones after a week of downward 
momentum, and traders are now eyeing untapped areas around $64,000. With price 
action showing potential short-term swings and H1 support under close watch, 
the next move could hinge on whether Bitcoin tests this low or reclaims higher 
levels first. Weekend Range Sets The Stage For Next Week’s Moves After a week 
of downward momentum, Bitcoin has stepped into a key liquidity area. According 
to Lennaert Snyder, the market is currently forming a range, which could 
provide clear trading opportunities in the coming week. While weekend trading 
isn’t his focus, observing the price action now helps plan next week’s 
approach. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Market Structure May Be Changing — This 
Metric Explains Why Liquidity is concentrated around the $71,422 range high, 
and the reaction to a retest of this zone will be important. Testing the range 
high could trigger short positions if the bearish market structure break (MSB) 
holds, or offer long opportunities if Bitcoin successfully reclaims the area. 
On the lower side, the $64,500 low and all liquidity beneath it remain largely 
untouched, making this a critical zone to monitor. When the market reaches 
these levels, traders will be watching for either high-probability reversals 
for long entries or continuation shorts if the support fails. The interplay 
between the range high at ~$71,422 and the lows around $64,500 will likely 
dictate the next significant swings, offering strategic opportunities for 
those tracking both sides of the market. Bitcoin Eyes Short-Term Breakout 
Before Possible Pullback BTC is showing short-term activity that suggests a 
minor push higher before resuming lower moves. Crypto analyst Scient 
highlighted that the H1 support/resistance level at $68,000, which was 
rejected two days ago, has now been broken and flipped, signaling a shift in 
short-term momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Social Sentiment Stays Bearish 
Even As Price Recovers From $60,000 Drop From the current setup, a new bearish 
channel is beginning to form. As part of this structure, Bitcoin is likely to 
sweep liquidity in the near term before heading lower. Observing these smaller 
intraday moves can provide traders with clues about how the market intends to 
reach its next major zones. Key levels to watch include the premium zone high 
at $72,200 and the untapped stacked liquidity above it, sitting between 
$73,000 and $74,000. These areas could attract buyers temporarily, creating a 
minor push toward the $73,000 region before the broader downtrend resumes. 
Traders should monitor price behavior closely when approaching these levels. 
On the downside, the H1 support at $68,000 remains critical. A clean break 
below this zone could accelerate the drop earlier than expected, confirming 
the bearish channel. Maintaining awareness of both the short-term push higher 
and this key support will help identify high-probability setups in the 
immediate timeframe. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from
