BTCUSD 4H Analysis: Navigating Discount Arrays & Liquidity PoolsMarket Context & Structure
Bitcoin (BTCUSD) recently faced heavy distribution near the $82,000+ region, leading to an aggressive bearish displacement that broke local market structure to the downside. Currently trading around $76,750, price action is consolidating in a transitional zone. Rather than forcing trades in the middle of this range, the most strategic approach is to wait for price to deliver into high-probability discount Points of Interest (POIs) to hunt for accumulation.
Technical Breakdown & Anticipated Scenarios
Based on the mapped demand blocks (red zones), we are tracking two primary paths for a potential bullish reversal, as indicated by the projections:
Scenario 1: The $75,000 Liquidity Sweep & Mitigation
The immediate downside target is the demand zone resting at the $75,000 psychological level. The projected path anticipates a sweep of sell-side liquidity (SSL) just below current consolidation, tapping into this block. If buyers step in to defend this level, we are looking for a structural shift to target the $78,000 - $79,000 supply zone (previous support turned resistance).
Scenario 2: Extreme Discount & Deep Accumulation ($70,000 Zone)
If bearish momentum sustains and slices through the $75k POI, the draw on liquidity will point heavily toward the extreme demand zone near $70,000. This level represents a massive structural floor. A deep plunge into this extreme discount area offers a high-reward macro setup. Accumulation here would provide the fuel needed for a strong rally back toward the $73,000 - $74,000+ fair value levels.
Trading Plan & Execution
Patience is critical. The middle of the range is for observation, the extremes are for execution.
Directional Bias: Macro Bullish, but heavily reliant on finding strong support in discount zones.
Entry Criteria: Set alerts for the $75,000 and $70,000 zones. Do not use blind limit orders. Once price taps these POIs, drop down to the 15m or 1H timeframes. Wait for the algorithm to show its hand via a clear Change of Character (CHoCH), a sweep of lower timeframe liquidity, and energetic displacement to the upside leaving a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
Invalidation: If the extreme $70,000 zone fails to hold and closes aggressively lower on the daily, the macro bullish bias must be reassessed.
Trade the reaction, not the prediction. Manage your risk closely!

Ethereum Weakens Below Key SupportETH continues showing a bearish structure on the H4 chart after breaking below the 2,300 USD zone.
Price is forming lower highs and lower lows, while recent rebounds remain weak and quickly face selling pressure. After dropping toward 2,080 USD, ETH bounced slightly back to 2,120 USD, but the move still looks like a technical rebound rather than a confirmed reversal.
EMA34 has crossed below EMA89, and both EMAs are sloping downward — a signal that the market may be entering a short-term downtrend or distribution phase.
The key resistance zone is 2,150 – 2,180 USD. If ETH fails to reclaim this area, price could retest 2,080 USD and potentially fall toward 2,000 USD if panic selling accelerates.
Compared with Bitcoin, Ethereum currently looks much weaker, suggesting speculative money is leaving altcoins first.

BTCUSD Retest Structure After Channel BreakdownAfter breaking out of the parallel channel structure, the market is continuing toward the downside while respecting the bearish trend. However, I believe the current bearish candle area may still get a retest before the next major move begins.
My expectation is that the market could perform a small pullback and retest the negative candle zone. If price reacts there and forms another bearish confirmation candle, then the downside continuation may become stronger.
At the same time, I also converted the previous demand area into a potential supply zone using the demand-to-supply interchange concept. Because of that, the marked lower zone is now acting as an important reversal area.
If the market reaches this zone and forms any strong positive candle or bullish confirmation, then a temporary upside reaction is also possible from that area.
For now, the market structure still looks bearish overall, but a short pullback before continuation would be completely normal. The reversal zone is already marked, and if proper retesting happens, the setup could become even cleaner.
At this stage, the next reaction around the retesting area will decide whether the market continues lower immediately or creates a short-term recovery move first. Bitcoin Rejected From 82K ResistanceBitcoin is losing momentum after multiple failed attempts to break above 82,000 USD. On the H4 chart, every recovery is being sold into, while EMA34 is starting to turn down and move closer to EMA89.
BTC has also failed to hold above EMA34, which suggests the market may be shifting into a short-term correction phase. Sellers are now defending the 80,500 – 81,500 USD zone.
If price continues closing below 79,000 USD, BTC could sweep liquidity toward 77,000 USD, with 75,500 USD as the next downside area.
However, this is not yet a major bearish reversal. As long as Bitcoin holds above 75,000 USD, the medium-term bullish structure remains intact. Short

My BTC Technical OutlookThis is a clean, well-structured 4-hour chart of Bitcoin (BTC/USD) on Bitstamp. mapped out a clear market structure shift from a bearish phase into a textbook bullish expansion, followed by a classic corrective pattern.
The Corrective Pattern & Trendline Weakness
"3 touch make a trendline weak": annotation here is spot on from a liquidity perspective. Retail traders see a descending channel or bull flag and place their stop-losses right above that upper boundary.
By the third touch, that trendline represents a dense pool of Buy Stop Liquidity (BSL). The market naturally wants to magnetize toward these areas to engineer liquidity.
The corrective channel itself looks like a standard bull flag/descending channel, showing a healthy, low-volume contraction after a major impulse move.
The LOC (Level of Commitment / Liquidity) Zone
marked a critical horizontal level at $77,568 (and the current price hovering right around it at $78,019).
This LOC line is beautifully placed because it aligns perfectly with the previous structural swing high formed in late April. In classic technical analysis, this is prior resistance turning into support. In institutional order flow, this is a major mitigation block where buyers are stepping back in to defend the structural higher-low.
Price just swept slightly below the lower boundary of the flag to tap this LOC, effectively flushing out late longs before showing immediate signs of absorption (evidenced by the small green candles and the current teal path projection).
Technical Outlook & Potential Play
The Bounce: Price is currently validating the LOC ($77,568). If the 4-hour candle closes decisively above this level, it confirms a successful retest.
The Breakout: The target of that initial bounce will be to break the "weak" upper trendline. Once that line snaps, the triggering of retail buy-stops should accelerate price rapidly through the 0.5 Fib levels.
The Target: A clean breakout of this flag targets a retest of the recent swing high (~$82,500), with measured move extensions pointing toward psychological resistance at $85,000 and beyond as we head into June.
Key Risk Invalidations: A decisive daily close below the LOC ($77,568) would jeopardize the immediate bullish momentum, likely dragging price down to fill the deeper inefficiency/FVG left behind in the late-April impulse leg down toward $75,000.
