The post-liquidation bounce has stalled rather than accelerated.<\/p>\n<p>Volume context matters here. The $1 billion liquidation flush was a forced-seller event, not an organic distribution. That historically creates messy range-bound price action rather than clean trend moves in either direction.<\/p>\n<p>BTC is trading just below its 50-day SMA, a technically soft position. Current structure reads as leveraged longs getting flushed while spot buyers defend major support.
