Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView tracked BTC price action as it hit its highest levels in nearly two weeks — $71,754 on Bitstamp.


A sudden correction then saw BTC/USD drop $1,300 in minutes, going on to total more than 4% as bulls fought to flip the key $69,000 zone to support.BTC/USD 1-minute chart. Source: TradingView


The latest data covering flows for the United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) remained encouraging.


After net inflows of more than $400 million the day prior, Wall Street trading began with a modest 1,300 BTC ($91 million) outflow from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

“We"re indeed seeing some high volatility as well,” he added in a further post, noting that the local highs had filled a large wall of BTC sell orders.

Further out, fellow trader CrypNuevo hoped for an attack on the final band of shorts around recent all-time highs at $74,000.


“Mid term: Liquidity at both sides but more likely to go for the upside liquidations at $74.1k because they"re closer from current price,” he reasoned in part of an X post.BTC liquidation heatmap for Binance. Source: CrypNuevo/X$69,000 remains key point on the BTC price map


With $68,500 coming back into play at the time of writing, popular trader Crypto Ed was among those calling for calm.

That price, he said in his latest YouTube video released on the day, would form a potentially suitable long entry and would not constitute a major corrective move.


“Not really sure if this next move is really a big one — $73,000 maybe,” he suggested about where BTC/USD could go thereafter.


A further correction could then set in before attacking the all-time highs.
