Bitcoin just experienced a sharp decline below $73,000 USD, triggering over 243 million USD in Long liquidations. In total over the past week, the crypto market has witnessed approximately 2 billion USD being "wiped out", indicating that volatility levels are rising significantly.

Currently, the 70,000 – 72,000 USD zone is becoming a major liquidity area below, likely to be tested again if selling pressure continues. Conversely, above from 75,000 – 78,000 USD there are also significant liquidity clusters present.

This has caused the market to fall into a relatively (50/50) balanced state, when both upward and downward directions have "reasons" to occur. Notably, the bears (bears) have begun to react, indicating that short-term correction risks still remain present.
