BTC Weekly Outlook: Volatility Ahead, Short Squeeze or Final Dip?

After last week’s perfect projection and the biggest liquidation cascade in years, $BTC faces another volatile week. With short liquidity clustered around $116K–$117K and the CME gap near $106.7K, traders watch for either a short squeeze or a final dip to $100K.

$BTC Sunday update:

Last week's projection played out perfectly, at least the 50% of the wick was filled.

Now, are the imbalances to the downside fully retraced? can we expect a move up from here? where is the liquidity?

I'm expecting another volatile week:

Only 10 days ago we had the biggest liquidation cascade - even x2 leverage longs were liquidaded.

That event changed the bias of many traders leading to fear and opening swing shorts.

Now, we can see a big cluster of short liquidations between $116k-$117k. Short squeeze coming?

Something like this is what we could see over the next 2 weeks imo.

If they target this weekend's small CME gap at $106.7k they could drop a bit further to hit SLs.

After taking the downside imbalance (long wick), I'm looking at the upside imbalances (LPs) as targets.

Another scenario is that we actually go for the 100% of the long wick and also test again the 1W50EMA bull market support at $100k.

We'll need some bad news to trigger that move since I think the market is probably ready to move on from here.

Sparing some bids for it in case.
