“This is where you’d wanna see Bitcoin form a higher low -- or it starts looking like $62,000 is on the menu,” popular trader Jelle warned in one of the day’s posts on X.“Red Monday, green week?”BTC/USD chart. Source: Jelle/X

Traders held various support levels in mind, these extending down to $60,000, with multi-month lows on the radar should that level also fail to hold.

$65,000 represented a major focus in terms of liquidity on the day after $66,000 disintegrated.

“Big liquidity level at $65K and $66.3K. Keep in mind, there will always be levels on both sides and these don’t always get tapped. These levels can act as a magnet when price trades close to it,” fellow trader Daan Crypto Trades commented alongside order book liquidity data from monitoring resource CoinGlass.BTC liquidation heatmap (screenshot).

Trader Crypto Tony, meanwhile, highlighted $67,300 as a level to flip to support for those considering going long BTC.
