Bitcoin Eyes $109K Breakout That Could Trigger $48.7M Liquidity Squeeze

Bitcoin saw modest gains over the weekend, increasing by as much as 3% to reach $108,798 on Sunday, propelled by the overall momentum in the cryptocurrency market.

As Bitcoin approached the $108,000 mark, traders, including Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Capital, indicated that Bitcoin might face a brief pullback before attempting to surpass new all-time highs.

Technical analysis suggests that $109,000 is a crucial resistance level on Bitcoin’s four-hour chart. “This is the area we need to break in order to have upward momentum,” van de Poppe remarked.

Data from CoinGlass indicated concentrated trading interest around significant price levels, with considerable bid activity below current prices and resistance clustering above $109,000.

Over $48.7 million in liquidity was positioned at $109,500.

If Bitcoin successfully breaches liquidity levels between $110,000 and $112,300, the ensuing short squeeze could propel the cryptocurrency back into price discovery mode, potentially establishing new record highs.
