CoinGlass stated that BTC whale order book data shows that the price of Bitcoin is "trapped" within a range. Sell orders are concentrated at $67,500 and in the range of $67,950 to $68,050. Buy orders are located between $65,600 and $65,800, with strong support around $64,900.Currently, it is not a trending market, but rather a sideways market. If the sell wall above is absorbed, it leans bullish; if the buy orders below are withdrawn or consumed, it leans bearish. Until then, the price remains compressed within the range set by the whales.

CoinGlass stated, "During yesterday's decline, Bitcoin's open interest (OI) actually increased as the price fell, indicating that shorts were clearly adding positions, forming a relatively clean short position buildup. This wave of movement ultimately touched around $68,750.Currently, the price has rebounded, but OI has shown almost no significant change, which usually means this rebound is not driven by new longs. Therefore, it currently resembles range-bound fluctuations rather than a clear trend reversal. Moving forward, it is important to focus on the changes in Bitcoin's price and OI."
