Bitcoin rebounded toward $106,000 on June 3 following a turbulent start to the trading day. After briefly slipping below its previous all-time highs from late 2024, the cryptocurrency managed to steady itself, resisting a feared test of the $100,000 support level. Market watchers noted an emerging bullish sentiment, fueled by renewed interest in key liquidity zones. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView highlighted the recovery of BTC/USD, showing the pair reversing its earlier drop after the Wall Street open. Traders Eye High-Stakes Liquidity Zones Popular trader Daan Crypto Trades suggested that both bulls and bears had positions clustered around the current price range, hinting at the potential for volatile moves. “There are still a lot of positions built up on both sides,” he stated on X. “Major liquidity zones above $110K and below $103K.” This tension between upward and downward liquidity could trigger sudden price swings, with analysts watching closely for a breakout. CoinGlass data showed that upside liquidity was already within range, raising the possibility of a short-term rally designed to flush out positions. Support Builds, but Momentum Still Lacking Material Indicators, a trading analytics platform, pointed out key areas of support that could come into play if prices dip again. “FireCharts shows ~$263M in BTC bid liquidity laddered down to $97,750, and an additional block of plunge protection just above the Yearly Open,” the firm stated. This strong bid interest may serve to buffer Bitcoin against further declines and keep the broader uptrend intact. Still, Material Indicators remained cautious about expectations for new all-time highs in the near term. “The trend undoubtedly is still up, but there has been no strong continuation above $100K+ this year just yet,” Daan Crypto Trades remarked the day before. Profit-Taking Begins but Euphoria Still Absent According to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, Bitcoin holders have started realizing profits, though not at the scale seen during past bull market peaks. “The recent Bitcoin ATH breakout has led to a notable uptick in profits locked in, with the average coin capturing a +16% profit,” the firm said in its latest edition of “The Week Onchain.” Only 8% of all trading days have yielded higher profits for investors, signaling that a wave of profit-taking may be underway. Glassnode also emphasized that the market hasn’t yet entered a “euphoric” phase typically associated with cycle tops. Instead, traders appear cautiously optimistic, with many still waiting for a strong catalyst to push Bitcoin decisively past the $110,000 mark.
