Bitcoin (BTC) is at a critical juncture as it nears the $95,000 liquidity zone, a pivotal level that could determine its next major rally or corrective move.
Trading near $92,640 with a 1.79% daily gain and over $84 billion in 24-hour trading volume, Bitcoin’s price action is attracting heightened attention from both retail and institutional investors. Market participants are closely monitoring technical indicators and liquidity clusters to gauge whether BTC can reclaim resistance levels and sustain momentum.
Resistance Test Signals Potential Upside
According to market analyst Ted (@TedPillows), a crypto market strategist with over 10 years of trading experience, Bitcoin recently tested the $93,000–$94,000 resistance zone, a historical pivot for price movements. Ted noted, “A reclaim of the $93,000–$94,000 zone will push Bitcoin towards $100,000. If Bitcoin gets rejected, it could drop toward the $88,000–$89,000 level.”

This resistance test was partly driven by short squeezes, a temporary spike in buying activity when traders are forced to cover short positions, rather than sustained spot demand. Traders are monitoring this zone closely, as a strong reclaim with high trading volume could trigger a broader rally.
Liquidity Clusters and Market Sentiment
According to TradingView analyst crypto_vulture_signals, Bitcoin is approaching a crucial liquidity cluster around $95,000, which previously acted as a support level. The analyst explained, “A clean breakout above this level can open the gates toward the $99,000 resistance zone. If momentum continues, price may extend toward broader upside liquidity near $107,000.”
However, market sentiment remains cautious. A rejection in the $95K–$99K range could lead to a corrective drop toward $85,000, which is a critical higher-low structure. If this support fails, the next significant demand level sits around $76,000.
Whale Activity: Verified vs. Speculative
Recent discussions on social media suggested that a Satoshi-era whale purchased 33,000 BTC after 15 years of dormancy. Credible investigations indicate this is likely misinterpreted information. In reality, a dormant wallet from March 2010 moved 50 BTC across several wallets, most likely for portfolio reorganization, not a massive purchase.

Investors are advised to focus on verified inflows, institutional holdings, and Bitcoin ETF activity, including reports from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and BlackRock BTC ETFs, to gauge genuine market sentiment.
Technical Indicators Suggest Caution
On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin’s RSI indicates early weakness, while the Stochastic RSI suggests a potential reversal. This could lead BTC to form a higher low or dip into a lower low, depending on how it interacts with upcoming liquidity zones.

Analysts caution that short-term volatility remains high. As one TradingView contributor noted, “The market can behave unpredictably with sharp moves in both directions as liquidity is captured on each side.”
Investors should wait for clear confirmations before anticipating breakout or breakdown movements.
Final Thoughts
Bitcoin remains at a pivotal moment, balancing between potential upside and corrective risks. With institutional flows, liquidity clusters, and historical resistance levels influencing price action, traders and investors should monitor Bitcoin price forecasts, ETF inflows, and market sentiment closely.
