Bitcoin trader waits for sweep of sub-$60,000 lows
Data from TradingView showed volatility cooling over the weekend, with BTC/USD acting within an increasingly narrow range.
On four-hour time frames, the Bollinger Bands volatility indicator constricted — a classic signal that a sharp move up or down was due.
In their latest analysis, pseudonymous trader LP bet on bears winning the battle.
“Looking back at previous cycles, bottoms were formed after multiple sweeps of the lows, forcing capitulation before a reversal,” a post on X read.
“In contrast, this cycle has been doing the opposite, consistently sweeping the highs, making it difficult to enter short positions while leaving the lows exposed and building liquidity below.”
LP said that sweeping local lows, including February’s wick below $60,000, was “likely just a matter of time.”
“When that breakdown eventually happens, watch the behavior closely. If price starts repeatedly sweeping the lows, making it psychologically difficult to enter longs, that’s when a true bottom is more likely forming,” they concluded.
Whales “buying dips and selling rips” on BTC

Uploading a chart of Binance order-book liquidity and volume by investor class, Alan highlighted a bot using time-weighted average price (TWAP) to distribute BTC on Friday.
“The vertical orange line represents the smallest order class with a TWAP bot selling $18M in an hour,” he explained.
“That’s exponentially more than their normal $3M-$5M daily volume in 1 hr. That ain’t retail!”
Whales, Alan added, were “buying dips and selling rips” with Bitcoin still trapped in a range.
