Bitcoin Rally Fueled by Massive Slippage Event, Not Candles
Bitcoin’s latest upward jolt wasn’t powered by slow, steady buying—its real momentum came from a sharp slippage event that broke through market depth in a single move.
According to CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn, the catalyst was a sudden burst of buy-side pressure:
“163 BTC in buy-side slippage—the largest buy-pressure event in several days.”
Within moments, spot price jumped from $91,740 to $92,315, skipping the typical step-by-step climb and leaving a clear gap on the chart.
A Silent Market Turns Sharp: Hyblock Data Signals the Trigger
Hyblock readings help explain how the move unfolded. Before the spike, the “Max Buy” slippage indicator sat at 14.0, while “Max Sell” held at 16.9—levels that barely budged for nearly two days as Bitcoin hovered tightly between $90,800and $92,000.
Then a single aggressive candle swept liquidity from the $92,000–$92,300 band, pushing the price to the upper end of the structure without the usual micro-pullbacks.
Hyblock’s prior major signal hadn’t crossed the 100-unit threshold on any feed. But today’s move broke straight through that ceiling—evidence that buyers used large market orders strong enough to pull the top layers off the order book.
Key Areas to Watch as Order Flow Shifts
The next notable zone sits at $93,500–$94,000, a region where order flow previously slowed.
If additional high-slippage prints emerge, Bitcoin could move into that band quickly, especially with visible liquidity gaps just above $92,800.
