Bitcoin eyes $71k as bid-side pressure builds at regional lows
Bitcoin (BTC) data flashed a rare bid-side imbalance as it traded below $65,000 on Sunday. The bid-ask ratio showed strong buying pressure at several depth levels, which confirmed a short-term low for the price of BTC.
Over $1.6 billion is at risk of being released near $71,000 in the short term, focusing on the possibility of a rally if BTC manages to hold above $66,700 on the daily chart.
Bitcoin's bid-ask imbalance complements a shift in market structure.
Data from Hyblock captured a sharp bid-side skew around $65,000 on Sunday. Imbalances peaked at the 99th percentile at 1%, 2%, 5% and 10% of order book depth, one of the strongest buying responses in recent weeks.
The depth of the order book tracks the total volume of buy and sell orders in percentages around price, providing a clear view of recent liquidity pressure.
At that level, the weight of the bid shows a stronger interest attraction than the requests in the key zones. Bitcoin bounced back to the $67,000-68,000 range within hours, with selling pressure fading quickly if similar to past issues.
This indicates localized weakening at low speeds, supported by buyers moving into concentrated liquid zones.
On the technical side, a four-hour breakout structure adds confirmation of a trend reversal. However, a daily close above $66,700 on Monday is necessary to keep the setup intact.
Short liquidity capacity of approximately $71,000, estimated at over $1.6 billion, is highlighted during a possible bailout.

April's pivot trend meets Monday's bearish pattern.
Adds a time-based variable to the April 1 highlighted setting. The Crypto Trader LP shows the first day of the month that serves as a local low in 67% of the cases seen in the last nine months.
The direction of the price in the pole plays a role, the lower approaches increase the possibility of forming a bottom, which is similar to the current composition.
At the same time, the repeated weekly behavior introduces a little resistance. Crypto analyst KillaXBT posted early highs in roughly 90% of trading on Monday, following a selloff. Historical tracking has shown at least 3% lower movements than 24 Mondays in the past six months.
These signals bring attention to the price movements at the beginning of the week. Bitcoin is currently trading between the April 1 setup and the typical Monday weakness pattern, with $71,000 being the closest major liquidity level.
