$31,000 reappears in BTC price “leverage crunch”
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price briefly passing $31,000 before the July 10 daily close.
In a copycat move, seemingly with last week’s snap higher for inspiration, BTC/USD managed to approach resistance before momentum waned, subsequently falling back over $800.
Some form of continuation did set in thereafter, and at the time of writing, Bitcoin ( $76,337.00 ) traded around $30,500.
For Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, the overnight move had all the hallmarks of a “leverage crunch.”
“The markets just continues chopping,” he told Twitter followers in his latest update.
“ Bitcoin ( $76,337.00 ) had a leverage crunch in the past 24 hours, taking out all the highs & going back to the start in one go. The only difference between now and Thursday? No new lows have been made. $30,200 supporting. Don’t get chopped out!”BTC/USD annotated chart. Source: Michaël van de Poppe/Twitter
Popular trader Crypto Daan compared recent behavior with the “Bart Simpson” style chart features from before, where BTC price would spike to a plateau and hold there, only to retrace the full run later. Currently, however, Bart has been replaced with a structure reminiscent of the Burj Khalifa.

Trader and analyst Rekt Capital meanwhile flagged $30,600 as the level to flip.
“BTC is now pressing past the ~$30600 Ascending Triangle resistance. But it’s key to note that $BTC has pressed past this level before only to form an upside wick,” he said during the overnight run to $31,000.
“So BTC needs to turn the ~$30600 into support in the coming days for BTC to confirm its breakout.”BTC/USD annotated chart. Source: Rekt Capital/Twitter

In the latest edition of its weekly newsletter, “The Week On-Chain,” analytics firm Glassnode suggested that this was characteristic of Bitcoin ( $76,337.00 ) price cycles.
“ Bitcoin ( $76,337.00 ) data often displays strangely repetitive patterns cycle after cycle. In the 2021-22 cycle, the $30k price level formed somewhat of a ‘mid-point’, and was tested several times both from above and below,” it noted.
“A very similar level was observed in 2013-16 around the $425 level, and again in 2018-19 at approximately $6.5k.” Bitcoin ( $76,337.00 ) Cycle Mid-point Comparison chart (screenshot). Source: Glassnode
Glassnode added that “re-accumulation” was the tag that best fits the nature of current BTC price action.
