BTC price action circled $67,000 after a boost at the latest daily close, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirmed.

Still within a narrow range, bulls continued to grind away at nearby order book liquidity.

According to current figures from monitoring resource CoinGlass, a bid wall of around $35 million on Binance was taken into the daily close, with the bulk of ask liquidity now sitting between $67,000 and $67,500.

“A 1-Month view of the order book illustrates how dynamic changes in liquidity placement impact overall price action,” trading resource Material Indicators wrote in part of a post on X (formerly Twitter).

“The NET effect of blocks of Bitcoin ask liquidity moving lower, and some blocks of bid liquidity moving higher tightens up the active trading range to roughly $62k - $68k.”

Of interest is the $1-$10 million order category, which, in contrast to others, increased exposure through April.

This adds to existing findings from research firm Santiment, with new analysis now revealing “FOMO” on the part of wallets with a balance between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC ($66.7 million — $667 million).
