On-chain data shows a massive accumulation of leveraged long positions (bullish bets) in the <strong>$89,500 to $90,300 zone<\/strong>. This area has become a prime target for <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/trading\/market-maker\/\">market makers. <\/a>By pushing the price just below this threshold, they <strong>trigger forced selling of these positions<\/strong>, which amplifies the decline and creates a domino effect. It&#8217;s a classic purge, but one of rare violence, designed to &#8220;clean&#8221; the market of excess leverage before a potential new move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BTC<\/a><br><br>Sums up the entire sentiment.

This is a typical pattern at market tops, where the most informed players <strong>distribute<\/strong> their holdings to a crowd of less experienced buyers. Fear sentiment is at its peak, even higher than during previous lows, indicating extreme tension in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-invisible-hand-of-coinbase-and-blackrock\">The Invisible Hand of Coinbase and BlackRock?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the simple mechanics of liquidations, <strong>accusations of more sophisticated manipulation are emerging<\/strong>. A dynamic involving <strong>BlackRock<\/strong>, the world&#8217;s largest asset manager, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-investing\/exchange\/coinbase\/vip-program\/\">Coinbase<\/a><\/strong>, one of the major <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/exchanges\/\">exchanges<\/a>, is being called into question. According to several analysts, the scheme would be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If you didn&#39;t realize,<br><br>Every time BlackRock has transferred out more than $500M in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BTC<\/a>, those outflows land on Coinbase<br><br>You know what coinbase does?

The only way for the market to resume its upward trajectory would be a slowdown in these outflows from BlackRock&#8217;s ETFs. Yesterday&#8217;s session, which saw no such outflows, coincided with a temporary lull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"short-covering-rally-and-the-key-93600-level-for-bitcoin\">Short Covering Rally and the Key $93,600 Level for Bitcoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bounce observed from <strong>$89,900<\/strong> might be nothing more than a flash in the pan. This is likely a &#8220;short covering rally,&#8221; a technical rebound caused by short sellers buying back their positions to take profits, rather than a new wave of fundamental buying. The real test for Bitcoin lies at the <strong>$93,600 level<\/strong>, which corresponds to the <strong>yearly open price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as Bitcoin fails to reclaim this level and transform it into support, the <strong>market will remain in a &#8220;gray zone&#8221;<\/strong> with a <strong>high risk of further decline<\/strong>. A failure at this level would confirm that selling forces still have control and that the liquidation hunt could resume, with potentially much lower targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accumulate Bitcoin without stress with <strong>the Hedging Bot from Pionex<\/strong> that covers drops with automated shorts and accumulates BTC with profits.
