Bitcoin's latest move has really made both bulls and bears experience a few heart-stopping moments.
SBTC suddenly plunged, briefly touching $73,510 within 15 minutes, then quickly rebounded. This kind of move can easily give investors the illusion: it was just looking bearish—how did it bounce back so quickly?
But the liquidation scale is more worth watching than the price.
Data shows that around $745 million in positions across the network were liquidated in just one hour, including about $715 million in longs. The mass exit of leveraged longs has clearly dealt a heavy blow to market sentiment.
However, it's not that simple.
Long liquidations don't necessarily mean the market will keep falling. A wave of liquidations could ease short-term selling pressure, while the rapid rebound also suggests there is some buying support at lower levels.
Conversely, a rebound doesn't mean the bull market is back on. After all, a single wick only shows that the market is highly volatile; it doesn't prove that the trend has changed.
The $73,000–$75,000 range will be key to watch next.
If the market can hold this range, it may have a chance to rebuild confidence; if it repeatedly breaks below it, panic could flare up again.
So shorts, don't rush to pop the champagne, and bulls, don't rush to declare the bull market is back. What the market needs most right now isn't emotion, but patience. $BTC
