Key points: Bitcoin attacks liquidity clustered close to spot price into the weekly close. Market commentators eye significant BTC price levels below $95,000. The Fed’s upcoming interest rate decision is the key macro event to watch next week. Bitcoin (BTC) fell toward $95,000 into the May 4 weekly close as traders braced for more macro-induced downside. BTC price liquidations mount after 10-week highs Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD retreating from multimonth highs toward the May open. Hitting liquidity clustered around spot price, Bitcoin created a recipe for volatility as market participants discussed key levels. “Dense longs cluster 95.7k-96k, heavy shorts 96.5k-97k right around current price (~96.2k),” popular trader TheKingfisher wrote in part of ongoing analysis on X. “These are price magnets. Expect chop/volatility as they get tested.” The latest data from monitoring resource CoinGlass showed price colliding with buy liquidity, with the majority of asks clustered around $97,200. With the past week seeing multiple liquidity “grabs,” some saw the potential for that behavior to continue as the key $100,000 mark edged closer. $BTC Gap and tap before liquidity grab at $100k is what I’m looking for here https://t.co/akVEzc3Aaj pic.twitter.com/igCptK8VIp — NiFτy (@niftyinvest) May 4, 2025 “Positions from $94K–$97K flushed at weekend,” popular trader BitBull summarized.
