Today's market seems to be fluctuating again under the tug-of-war between two forces. Let's first take a look at the 24-hour liquidation structure.



BTC is currently trading around 89.4k. On the upside, the biggest pain point for bears is at 90.9k, only 1.6% away. On the downside, the biggest pain point for bulls is at 88.3k, -1.2% away. What does this mean? Simply put, BTC is caught in the middle — resistance above to short-sellers isn't strong, but the downside space is limited. According to market logic, it's more likely to push upward first to clear out the shorts.

ETH's situation is a bit interesting. The current price is 2948, with the bear pain point at 2975 (+0.9%), and the bull pain point at 2884 (-2.1%). Notice this difference: the liquidation point above is very close, while below it’s relatively farther. This kind of structure often leads to a quick "short squeeze" rally, rapidly clearing out the shorts.

What about altcoins like SOL, DOGE, and BNB? The bear pain points are generally between +2% and +2.5%, while the bull pain points are between -1.5% and -2%. The overall characteristic is that the upper side is prone to break, while the lower side is quite solid — the market tends to push up first and then shake out.

From the overall structure, this isn't a one-sided trend. More precisely, the price is like being attracted by a "liquidation magnet," oscillating within a range. The most likely market movement is to first test the upper bear pain point, observe the reaction, and then decide whether to revisit the dense bullish areas.

The short-term trading strategy is to closely monitor the reactions near liquidation points, enter and exit quickly, and avoid being caught in a back-and-forth trap.
BTC-0.95%
ETH-2.62%
SOL-2.09%
DOGE-1.76%

Once again, it's this kind of choppy market with head and foot traps. Watching this liquidation structure analysis every day has become tiresome, but indeed, the probability of a breakout this time is quite high. I understand the short squeeze structure of ETH now, just waiting to be harvested. Quick in and out trading is real, but I just want to ask how many people can do it without greed... BTC is about to consider cutting positions after another surge; this kind of frustrating market is most prone to a fall. The term "liquidation magnet" is interesting, implying that the market is playing us. SOL and DOGE, these altcoins, are so easy to break above, it feels like another false rally is coming. The market remains the same: clearing out shorts and then flipping to trap longs, cycle after cycle. My only current concern is not knowing how long this surge can last; it feels like it could turn around at any moment. That's right, but in actual trading, it's still easy to get shaken out—lesson learned. I'm just worried that a sudden dump from above might happen, and whether 88.3k breaks or not becomes irrelevant.

Here we go again with this routine, liquidation magnet pulls in a wave of shorts, then continues to shake out the market, I'm done.

It's another situation where everything is trapped from both ends, so annoying. I can only bet on an upward surge, since the short position isn't far off anyway.

Here comes the same old liquidation magnet theory, getting tired of hearing it If the short squeeze rally crashes down, the bears will laugh while the bulls cry ETH's structure looks like it could easily break the top, but I bet it will just hover around 2900 again and again Quick in and out in the short term, it's easy to say, but the ones truly getting harvested are still us retail investors

It's the same old trick again, pump first and dump later. The bears get wiped out when it's time, truly impressive.
