Bitcoin is tightening between two major liquidity pools, with both bulls and 
bears sitting on borrowed time. As pressure builds and liquidity stacks on 
both sides, the next move looks less about direction and more about which side 
gets wiped out first. HTF Liquidity At $65,300 Remains The Primary Target 
Lennaert Snyder’s latest Bitcoin analysis remains focused on a significant 
High-Timeframe (HTF) liquidity pool located around the $65,300 zone. This area 
is designated as a major box of interest for hunting long positions. Rather 
than setting a blind entry, the strategy involves waiting for the price to 
penetrate this zone and then monitoring for high-probability reversal patterns 
to confirm a bottom. Related Reading: Bernstein Calls Bitcoin Crash A ‘Crisis 
Of Confidence,’ Maintains $150,000 Target Before reaching the lower HTF 
liquidity, there are potential local short-selling opportunities to trade the 
downward move. The first point of interest is the M15 liquidity sweep around 
$69,900. If the price reaches this level and captures the liquidity, the plan 
is to initiate a short position only after a confirmed bearish market 
structure break. A similar short-selling logic applies to the liquidity 
resting above the $71,450 level. Should Bitcoin push higher and sweep this 
liquidity, the expert is positioned for a subsequent bearish market structure 
shift, which signals a move back toward the primary $65,300 target. The 
analysis emphasizes patience and trigger-based entries over predictive 
guessing because the exact depth of the test into the $65,300 box is 
unpredictable. Liquidity Magnets Light Up On Bitcoin 24-Hour Heatmap Coin Adam 
pointed out that Bitcoin’s 24-hour heat map clearly highlights where liquidity 
is clustered, raising the key question of which side market makers may target 
next. According to Adam, current conditions suggest the market is being pulled 
between two powerful liquidity magnets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Hovers 
Around $70K As Volatility Goes Quiet On the downside, the $67,800–$68,200 zone 
stands out as a bright liquidity pool. This area is packed with long 
positions, making it an attractive target for a downside sweep. Coin Adam 
noted that a sharp wick into this range to grab liquidity and rebuild momentum 
remains a very realistic scenario. On the upside, there is also notable short 
squeeze potential between $71,500 and $72,500, where a heavy concentration of 
short positions sits. If Bitcoin can hold convincingly above the $70,000 
level, a strong bullish candle could push the price above to fill the gap. 
Overall, Adam explained that price is currently compressed between two major 
liquidity blocks, a setup that often resolves with a move toward the most 
prominent target. While both sides remain vulnerable, Coin Adam believes a 
sweep below $68,000 appears more likely in the near term, before any larger 
move toward the $72,000–$76,000 region unfolds. Featured image from Getty
