Recent Bitcoin price movements have shown several warning signals.
The most direct pressure comes from the liquidation pile-up above the 91500 to 92000 range, where over $500 million in leveraged long positions are itching to move. Once the price pulls back from high levels, these forced stop-losses will trigger a cascade effect, known in market terms as "longs killing longs," resulting in a rather fierce chain reaction.
Institutional sentiment is also quietly shifting. Over the past two weeks, the net outflow from US Bitcoin spot ETFs has exceeded $1.2 billion, which is no small amount. Large capital flows are often the most honest—they are voting with their wallets, and the votes are significant.
On the technical side, there are some signs of unrest. The daily RSI has approached 60, but the price hasn't kept pace, showing signs of stagnation. The MACD momentum is also waning, with a typical "bearish divergence" pattern emerging. Such misalignments often indicate a potential reversal.
There's also a easily overlooked but crucial factor—weekend liquidity. From Sunday night to early Monday morning, market depth noticeably thins out, making large orders more likely to cause significant swings.
Overall, the next 24 to 72 hours are a period for observation. If the price cannot hold this range, a chain reaction may follow.

Here comes another set of "hidden divergence" arguments... Every time they say it will fall, but what happens? When institutions withdraw 1.2 billion, they panic. Why don't they say that institutions are also bottom-fishing?

Hmm... Looking at the ETF net outflow numbers, institutions are really fleeing. This wave is a bit dangerous.

Is the mass killing coming? I'm just waiting to see if the institutions back down or not. The 1.2 billion outflow is indeed no joke.

Institutions are dumping, and top divergence is forming. Let's wait and see the weekend's crash show.

Over 500 million orders stacked above? That's a bit suspicious. Once the mass liquidation starts... Monday morning might require a wipeout before feeling comfortable.
