After weeks of unusually tight price action, Bitcoin is set to break free from 
its prolonged volatility compression. With price now expanding beyond its 
narrow range, liquidation activity is increasing, and stronger reactions to 
macro and on-chain catalysts are renewing momentum. This shift suggests that 
BTC is entering a phase where wider daily ranges and heightened market 
participation are likely to dominate the near-term structure. What This 
Volatility Expansion Means For The Next Major Trend Bitcoin has officially 
entered a new volatility regime, and a major change in market structure is 
driving the shift. Analyst AliceMia has revealed on X that, for the first 
time, options open interest has surpassed futures open interest, signaling 
that price action is no longer dominated primarily by leveraged speculation 
and liquidation cascades. In contrast, BTC is now being influenced more by 
hedging flows, dealer positioning, and volatility structures. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin Holds Key Support As Weekend Liquidity Sets In — $98,200 And $107,500 
In Focus As a result, the price behavior is changing. Rather than clean, 
straight-line breakouts fueled by forced liquidations, the market is seeing 
more magnet-level reactions around major strike levels and expiries. BTC price 
is moving from a casino market to a structured market. This is usually what 
happens before the bigger and more sustained moves happen. Bitcoin continues 
to consolidate inside the weekend range, which often acts as engineered 
liquidity during the following week. Crypto trader Lennaert Snyder highlighted 
that the preferred scenario for long trades would be if BTC continues to range 
higher through Sunday and sweeps the weekend liquidity on Monday/Tuesday. 
According to Snyder, all eyes are on the US Open, and he will only prolong the 
sweep of the weekend liquidity if BTC breaks the structure by regaining the 
$95,820 high. Only after that structural break would long positions make 
sense, with the monthly high as the primary target. From there, a higher price 
is expected. On the downside, the $94,635 low is still the level that must 
hold. As long as the price is above that on the higher timeframes, the bullish 
structure remains intact. However, if BTC loses that level and trades back 
into the previous range, momentum is likely to flip bearish. In that case, 
after confirmation, a short setup could become valid. Trader Snyder concluded 
that, as for Ethereum, the plan remains unchanged from the previous one. 
Deviation Confirmation Could Trigger The 2026 Super Rally The Bitcoin weekly 
plan is unfolding exactly as expected. Trader Alienopstrading also stated that 
shorts remain the focus for now since the $110,000 to $120,000 zone. BTC’s 
price has entered a minor consolidation and will see a move akin to what the 
analyst mapped out earlier. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $100K: Why All

the deviation, we could finally witness the 2026 super rally that many have 
been anticipating. &#8220;Just like I give you the top, I also want to give you the 
bottom,&#8221; Alienopstrading noted. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from
