News Highlights: Liquidity is a major problem in today's crypto market. According to the Kaiko data provider, large orders without market depth can cause large price fluctuations, leaving traders vulnerable to slippage and even potential losses.
Conor Ryder, Research analyst at Kaoiko said the liquidity crisis has been particularly evident in Bitcoin, where the closure of two key US-based banks hassignificantly reduced liquidity levels to 10-month lows. The same liquidity crunch is also affecting the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.

Analyst Notes: Crypto analyst Michal van de Poppe said that he predicted Bitcoin would drop to $25,000, but the apex crypto resisted and made a substantial correction to $26,200. He believes BTC would eventually reach $40,000. Trading isnt black and white, its often grey. This push makes me believe well continue up.
Yes, I believed we were going to drop to $25K.
However, we did squeeze to $28.7K and make a substantial correction to $26.2K. I also mentioned well most likely go to $40K after.

Crypto analystJustin Bennett had a snarky response to Balaji Srinivasan's bold $1 million bet. He said, if Bitcoin were to lose $26,500 on high times frames, then this would be the most obvious short entry point that the majority of crypto Twitter missed because they were promised $1 million in Bitcoin in just 90 days.
If $BTC loses $26,500 on the HTFs, this will go down as the most obvious short entry that most of crypto Twitter missed because they were promised $1 million #Bitcoin in 90 days.
