Everyone is watching the red candles. I’m focused on where BTC refuses to fall. After the sharp drop from the 79k area, BTC took liquidity below 70k and bounced back strongly. That move wasn’t random; it was a typical fear grab into higher-timeframe demand. Panic selling occurred while smart money absorbed it. Right now, BTC is compressing again. This is not a trend zone; it is a decision zone. Current Structure Breakdown (1H) Major Supply: 74.5k – 75.5k (previous distribution) Lower Supply / Rejection Zone: 72.2k – 73k Decision Zone: 69.8k – 71k (current range) Flip Zone: 68.8k – 69.2k (must hold) Liquidity Sweep: ~60k (already done) Major Demand: 65.8k – 67k (strong buyer reaction) BTC has already done the hard work; the sweep is complete. Now it’s about acceptance, not fear. Bullish Scenario (Structure-Based) As long as BTC stays above 69k, this range looks like re-accumulation. A clear acceptance above 71k opens the door for a move back toward 72.5k to 74k. This is not a chase zone. This is a "hold structure, let price come to you" zone. Bearish Scenario (Invalidation) If BTC falls below 68.8k with volume, the structure weakens again. That would likely push price back into the 66k to 67k demand, where buyers must defend hard or the market will shift into full risk-off mode. Below demand means patience, not prediction. My View Retail reacts to candles. Smart money reacts to levels. BTC already scared the market once. The next move will depend on who controls the 69k to 71k zone — fear or structure. Do you think BTC has already finished its liquidity sweep, or is the market still setting up one last trap? #CelebratingNewYearOnGateSquare

$BTC Price Is Shaking, Structure Is Clear
Everyone is watching the red candles.
I’m focused on where BTC refuses to fall.
After the sharp drop from the 79k area, BTC took liquidity below 70k and bounced back strongly. That move wasn’t random; it was a typical fear grab into higher-timeframe demand. Panic selling occurred while smart money absorbed it.
Right now, BTC is compressing again. This is not a trend zone; it is a decision zone.
Current Structure Breakdown (1H)
Major Supply: 74.5k – 75.5k (previous distribution)
Lower Supply / Rejection Zone: 72.2k – 73k
Decision Zone: 69.8k – 71k (current range)
Flip Zone: 68.8k – 69.2k (must hold)
Liquidity Sweep: ~60k (already done)
Major Demand: 65.8k – 67k (strong buyer reaction)
BTC has already done the hard work; the sweep is complete. Now it’s about acceptance, not fear.
Bullish Scenario (Structure-Based)
As long as BTC stays above 69k, this range looks like re-accumulation.
A clear acceptance above 71k opens the door for a move back toward 72.5k to 74k.
This is not a chase zone.
This is a "hold structure, let price come to you" zone.
Bearish Scenario (Invalidation)
If BTC falls below 68.8k with volume, the structure weakens again.
That would likely push price back into the 66k to 67k demand, where buyers must defend hard or the market will shift into full risk-off mode.
Below demand means patience, not prediction.
