According to @traderxyz on Twitter, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced notable trading firm activity this morning on Binance perpetual contracts. Ask liquidity positioned around $95,000 acted as resistance, capping upside movement and enabling short sellers to increase their exposure as the price trended downward. The manipulation became particularly clear near the $94,200 level, where shorts began closing positions into the price dip. Traders should watch these liquidity clusters and order book dynamics for potential reversals and volatility in the short term (source: @traderxyz on Twitter).

According to Skew Δ (@52kskew), Bitcoin's move towards $95,000 is being faded after significant ask liquidity was absorbed, with clear divergence observed between Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) and price action. The current market positioning is heavily skewed towards shorts, indicating an increase in short positions as the price faces resistance. Traders should closely monitor CVD trends and open interest for potential reversal signals or further downside risk as confirmed by Skew Δ's analysis on April 25, 2025.

According to Charles Edwards (@caprioleio), Bitcoin tends to overreact to news, both positively and negatively. He notes that market positioning became excessively short following today's Executive Order (EO) announcement, indicating a potential overreaction by traders.

According to glassnode, funding rates confirm a shift in the market dynamics. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) maintain slightly positive funding rates, indicating a continued bullish sentiment. However, Solana (SOL) has seen its funding rate turn negative, suggesting increased short interest and potential bearish sentiment. Additionally, negative funding rates in memecoins indicate dominant short positioning, hinting at an unwinding of excessive leverage in these riskier assets.
