Bitcoin’s current situation, to put it bluntly, is that it’s stuck between two “walls of chips” above and below.
If you look closely, there are two critical levels on the chart right now:
At the top, around 94,500, there’s a cluster of trapped positions and short sellers ready to enter. At the bottom, near 90,000, there’s a large accumulation of stop-loss orders and bottom-fishing funds.
My view? The usual play by the main players is: first, a quick dip to thoroughly activate the chips below 90,000, swallowing up all those stop-loss orders, and only then is there room to move up. This move is called “cleaning up the trash”—without kicking out the bulls below, where would the fuel for a rally come from?
You need to understand one thing—in the eyes of big traders, liquidity is never real support or resistance; it’s a hunting target. Wherever chips are concentrated, that’s where they sweep.

Damn, this analysis is spot on. We really have to hold the 90000 level.

technically speaking, this "liquidity hunting" framework requires further validation—too many assumptions baked in about whale behavior patterns. ngl, the 90k-94.5k squeeze narrative gets recycled every cycle, statistically improbable it plays out exactly as prescribed. trust but verify, especially when someone's selling you predictability in markets designed to punish it.

It's the same old garbage cleanup trick again, it's so annoying to watch. Every time, we have to be swept through once.

You're absolutely right, the 90K stop-loss orders will get triggered sooner or later—the question is when.

Once again, I'm trapped between walls of chips. This operator is truly brilliant.

Here we go again, every time they say they're going to clean up the trash, but what happens in the end? They're still making a living off retail investors' stop-loss orders.

ngl this "liquidity hunting" framing is just centralized market making with extra steps... the real question is why we're still letting whales dictate price discovery in 2024. should be building on-chain orderbooks with actual consensus mechanisms instead of watching these gametheory nightmares play out nightly tbh
