Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin is targeting ~$116K as liquidity wall resistance after filling the CME futures gap.
- Key support zones appear around $110K–$112K, guarded by bid orders from recent lows.
- ETF netflows—especially Friday’s outflow of −$812M—are key to assessing institutional demand.
As traditional markets reopened on Monday, Bitcoin surged towards $116,000, drawing attention to liquidity clusters and CME gap mechanics.
Analysts say reclaiming that level could validate continued strength, while ETF flows will reveal whether institutions are buyers or retreating again.
Bitcoin Battles Major Liquidity Walls
Traders pointed to a concentration of sell orders near $115,800, marking a liquidity wall above current price. Below, bid ladders stretch from $113,800 down to $110,000.
A key breakout above $115,850 could signal that the $112K region is now support—paving the way for a sustained move higher.
ETF Flows & Leverage Reset in Spotlight
Crypto firm QCP Capital noted that this pullback appears technical rather than panic-driven—a leveraged sell-off cleansing excess.
Open interest recently hit its lowest levels in over two weeks. Monitoring ETF inflows (or continued outflows) may confirm whether institutional sentiment is stabilizing or turning risk-averse.
Final Thoughts
Bitcoin’s return to $116K hinges on equilibrium between technical resistance and investor sentiment. Until ETF flows and volatility measures align positively, markets may range between $110K–$116K, consolidating ahead of fresh catalysts.
