“$70-71k confirmed as resistance again,” trader Jelle wrote in analysis on X the day prior.
“Still a bunch of liquidity built up below, generally not what you see at market bottoms. Expecting that liquidity to be taken out; sooner or later.”

The latest market moves continued a theme of liquidity grabs seen throughout the week.
Continuing, crypto trader Michaël Van de Poppe said that he would not be “surprised” about further BTC price weakness into the March monthly candle close.
“Especially given that we’re currently anticipating a potential sweep of the lows,” he told X followers on the day.
“In that case, I remain to be interested to be buying in the lower $60K regions.”

Previously occurring in January, the current bear flag has produced targets below $50,000.
“Bitcoin setting up for a rising wedge sell signal,” veteran trader Peter Brandt warned on Wednesday, joining those calls.

In his own X update, trader and educator Aaron Dishner continued the bearish tone around the flag structure.
“BTC is doing exactly what the bear flag setup called for. Price broke below the cloud yesterday on the daily, and today opened below it – currently down just 0.32% but that’s not a recovery, that’s hesitation,” he commented.
“The measured target from the January 14th high to the February 6th low, applied to the current flag structure, puts the downside at $41K.”
