Bitcoin has a “big day ahead” as a final push to the $100,000 mark begins ahead of the Wall Street open.

Bitcoin gaps higher with sellers above $100,000

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed what trader Skew called a “pop” into final ask liquidity before the key six-figure Bitcoin (BTC) price barrier.

Up nearly 3% on the day at the time of writing, BTC/USD was less than $3,000 from a historic achievement.

“If large sellers are to make a stand it’s here, also in game theory it makes sense in terms of front running $100K ask liquidity,” Skew said in a post on X.

“I think any deep sweep from here is a bid, else price will continue to go parabolic above $100K.”

A further post noted that new ask liquidity was beginning to arrive on exchange order books above $100,000 — something notionally cathartic for price.

“New ask liquidity showing up here is a good confirmation of the market starting to price above $100K,” Skew wrote.

“Big day ahead.”

Cointelegraph has long reported on the significance of the $100,000 mark, which has come within reach more quickly than many imagined, with Bitcoin gaining 38% in three weeks.

“The normie mind cannot comprehend Bitcoin > $100K,” Charles Edwards, founder of quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund Capriole Investments, said. 

“A ton of supply unloading between 90-100 for this reason. Teleportation occurs beyond $100K as the masses re-enter with FOMO.”

Data from monitoring resource CoinGlass put short BTC liquidations in the 24 hours to the time of writing at just over $92 million.

BTC price support retest “welcome”

A word of warning came from those hoping for a support retest to confirm market strength at higher levels.

In its latest analytics post on X, trading resource Material Indicators suggested that the low $90,000 range would be a suitable zone to revisit.

Uploading a view of the BTC/USDT order book of the largest global exchange, Binance, it noted a lack of buy-side liquidity below price should sellers gain control on low timeframes.

“FireCharts shows $BTC ask liquidity stacked from $98k- $100k, and thin bid liquidity below,” the post read. 

“I’d welcome a test of local support at $91k, there’s a small buy wall at $95k that may keep price elevated and momentum high.”
