BTC Price Analyst: “Massive” Liquidations Due at $30,000
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD steady over the weekend after ending March near $28,500.
A key resistance point from earlier in its current halving cycle, the current trade zone represents a major hurdle for bulls to overcome. Should they pull it off, price targets now extend beyond the $30,000 mark.
“Bitcoin has consolidated below the biggest resistance/support in the last 2+ years,” analyst Matthew Hyland in summary in his latest tweet on BTC.
“Whole new ballgame if BTC breaks it. NASDAQ & S&P went into week end strong. Still big pessimism and disbelief as big milestones close to being done for stocks/BTC.”
Popular Twitter account Byzantine General predicted that a resistance breakout just above the spot price would result in a wave of liquidations, leading to further upward momentum.
“Feels like a bear very desperately trying to defend the 29,000 to 30,000 region,” said one tweet on the day.
“I think when this level breaks there will be massive liquids coming in. And it feels like a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ because there is zero foam in the market, just some spot supply.”

On shorter time frames, however, traders were content to wait for the weekly close to cement previous gains.
“For this weekend it works on grain and for the continuation the bulls want to regain the area high of $28,750. Until we relax,” Crypto Tony tweeted on the day.
Others were more pessimistic, among them trading resource Stockmoney Lizards, which described a correction as “highly likely” before BTC/USD reaches $30,000.
