Recent Price Action & Structure All-Time High & Drawdown
December's ATH was followed by a drawdown, leaving an inefficiency gap between 77K and 84K. These zones remain "left behind" but do not indicate a strong selling phase. Bullish Channel & Breakdown
The bullish channel lasted until December 17th, then broke down with a textbook Head & Shoulders pattern. The second shoulder was lower than the first, signaling weakening momentum. Range Formation & Fakeouts
Price ranged between 92K and 99K, with a fakeout on January 7th and an actual breakout on January 15th. Liquidity was recovered at 86K on January 13th, a clear high-reaction zone. January ATH & Liquidity Voids New ATH at 109K (January 20th)
Demand was not strong enough to sustain a breakout beyond 109K. The 10-day bullish move left behind a "missing liquidity point" (8-day SD cycle). The breakout was preceded by a fakeout, grabbing liquidity before reversing under the previous low. Post-ATH Ranging Phase
Upper band: 106K (including spikes) Lower band: 101K, with multiple supports within the range The uptrend line from the previous breakout was broken on January 26th, triggering liquidity recovery at 96K. Bearish Phases & Liquidity Traps First Major Drop
Support at 102K failed → Confirmed breakout below the range → Strong selling signal A 4H bearish channel took price to 92K, where a wick and reaction indicated liquidity recovery, not a trend shift Strong Recovery at Liquidation Point
Bounce at 0.5 retracement, pushing price back to the broken 102K level Not enough demand to continue the bullish run → led to a new 4-day bearish phase Mid-Term Market Cycle (16 Days) First 10 Days: Light Downtrend
February 9th breakout of the downtrend line → Start of a slight bullish phase Three uptrending moves show buyers' interest, but not enough strength to break the range February 14th Spike to 98K
The price attempted a breakout but lacked volume → Sign of buyer willingness but insufficient liquidity Second Half of the Cycle (6 Days)
Cup-shaped structure with a double bottom at 96K Resistance: High from February 14th’s spike Old trendline reached again—not a trend reversal but another liquidity grab Key Levels to Watch February 3rd Drop Below 92K
Left behind a major inefficiency, likely to be recovered before the next bullish phase Below this level, another inefficiency at 86K-77K could attract large sellers Liquidity Insights & Heatmap
Locked liquidity is high, with more long positions than shorts for next month Bullish target: 89-87K, but only if price dips below 94K first Potential Scenarios Bullish Case
A final dip below 94K to fill liquidity gaps Reversal pattern (Head & Shoulders or W formation) could confirm an imminent uptrend Once liquidity is collected, market can start reclaiming levels lost since ATH Bearish Case
If price fails to recover liquidity, a deeper correction toward 86K-77K inefficiency zones is likely Strong selling signals would emerge if we break below 92K without a quick recovery Time & Market Cycles The T-cycle has ended—we now wait to see how the new cycle unfolds
Expect either:
Another 4-day range, or Breakout of either 94K or 98K For bullish confirmation, we need a clear, high-volume breakout—not just a liquidity grab (fakeout)
Final Takeaway Key focus: Watching liquidity recovery, key breakout levels, and cycle shifts Bullish confirmation: Strong demand push beyond resistance, not just a liquidity trap Bearish caution: If inefficiencies are not recovered, expect deeper retracement Next move: Monitor price reactions at 94K and 98K—whichever breaks first will determine the next phase.
