“The pressure is building,” trader Ardi responded to the latest price moves in a post on X.
“We’ve seen BTC lose multiple key support levels in the space of 24 hours, and is now breaking below an already steep downward channel.”
Ardi described the loss of $72,500 as “key.”
“Once support starts breaking across multiple timeframes, the market usually starts moving toward the next major liquidity pivot. For me, that sits around $68.7K,” he continued.
“Unless BTC can reclaim this breakdown quickly, I think we’ll be heading there shortly.”

On Monday, trading resource Material Indicators flagged concerning signals from one of its proprietary trading tools.
“We still need to watch levels to determine if this is going to develop into a base building consolidation, or the next leg down,” it told X followers.
“The fact that price just fell through another Timescape level is another sign of weakness. The real test comes at the Q2 2026 Timescapes in the $68k – $69k range.”

Material Indicators added that continued downside could bring the 200-day simple moving average into play.
“If bulls lose that range – pack your bags for Bearadise,” it added.
