The Signal Everyone\u2019s Ignoring\u2026,\u201dMayne outlined a two-track playbook: a tactical long on a lower-timeframe liquidity sweep that could precede a deeper correction, and, if that setup fails, a decisive flush that takes out $98,000 before a fourth-quarter continuation higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTLDR \u2014 I think we are due for a larger correction soon, to take out the $98k weekly liquidity level,\u201d Mayne wrote in his teaser via X, adding that \u201cthere may be a short term long set up that precedes that correction\u201d and that he still expects higher prices in Q4, making \u201can early dump\u2026a buying opp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-830171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-01-082141.png?resize=1024%2C589\" alt=\"Bitcoin price analysis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On Bitcoin\u2019s structure, Mayne said the market has respected his recent roadmap: a push up, a retest, and now a decision point defined by higher-timeframe \u201cbreaker\u201d levels and intraweek lows. \u201cWe had the daily flip bullish on Bitcoin, right? We closed above the breaker,\u201d he said, noting that while the monthly chart is also constructive, \u201cthe weekly chart is technically bearish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With two higher timeframes leaning bullish against a soft weekly, he is looking to the four-hour chart to synchronize the next trade. \u201cIf the H4 is bullish, which it is, if I take a setup on some sort of liquidity run on the H4, that\u2019s going to sync me back up with the daily at least.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The immediate trigger, in his view, is a sweep of local lows to tighten risk rather than \u201caping\u201d into a broad retest with a wide invalidation. \u201cI would like to see one of these H4 little liquidity pools here get run and then\u2026that becomes my setup and my stop is tight. I have clear targets over here,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted \u201cMonday\u2019s low\u201d as a relevant pivot that, if taken, could produce a mean-reversion long into a nearby daily bearish breaker and prior highs. \u201cMaybe we even run this first, right? And then get the pullback. But either way, that\u2019s what I\u2019m looking for on Bitcoin here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-830170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-01-082218.png?resize=1024%2C604\" alt=\"Bitcoin price analysis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"604\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mayne underscored that invalidation is non-negotiable. If price loses the intraweek baseline on a closing basis, he abandons longs and prepares for a larger washout. \u201cIf Bitcoin gets an H4 close below here\u2026we\u2019ll probably nuke to $98,000,\u201d he said, tying the trigger to a failure back below Monday\u2019s low and the range floor. In other words, the same liquidity dynamics he seeks to exploit for a tactical bounce could, if they break, accelerate the \u201c$98k\u201d clean-out he believes the weekly chart still \u201cowes.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>One Last Dip Before Q4 Fireworks<\/h2>\n<p>He mapped the Ethereum structure as analogous, with the daily and 12-hour trends flipping constructive into a weekly order block, but with the same need for a precise entry via a low-timeframe liquidity grab. \u201cETH very similar, right? We had the daily flip bullish\u2026we\u2019ve got the breaker. It\u2019s retesting this order block here,\u201d he said. He described an H12\/weekly combination where a \u201cweekly SFP\u201d and \u201cstructure break\u201d are in motion, but stressed placement of the stop remains \u201ctricky\u201d unless a Monday-low sweep offers a cleaner trigger. \u201cTo me, ETH looks good here to fill in some of this\u2026assuming we can get that setup,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The conditional nature of the plan is central. Mayne is willing to attempt continuation longs into nearby resistance if and only if the market prints the sweep that tightens his invalidation. Failing that, he expects downside first. \u201cIf we don\u2019t get this little setup to here, I think there\u2019s a very strong chance that we\u2019re going to, you know, at least do one of these, right? and nuke this liquidity here and then get the real move up,\u201d he said. He reiterated the timeframe check: \u201cIf we get an H4 close below Monday\u2019s low [near $111,000]\u2026all bets are off and we might actually start the month of October down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the caution, the macro-tactical stance remains buy-the-dip for Q4. Mayne repeatedly framed any early-October weakness as an opportunity rather than the start of a cyclical top. \u201cUltimately, I\u2019m of the mindset that\u2026this dip that may come, whether it\u2019s from right here or after a push higher\u2026is a dip we want to buy \u2019cause we\u2019re in the endgame here,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s October, November, December. We\u2019re in Q4\u2026 I believe we trade higher in Q4.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At press time, BTC traded at $116,238.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-830186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTCUSDT_2025-10-01_11-28-21.png?resize=1024%2C473\" alt=\"Bitcoin price\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto analyst Trader Mayne is cautioning that Bitcoin may be setting up for a sharper drawdown before resuming its broader uptrend into year-end, arguing that a \u201c$98,000 weekly liquidity level\u201d sits uncollected below price and could be targeted early in October.
