🚨 BTC FLASH WICK TO $24,111 — HERE’S WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

On Christmas Day, Bitcoin printed one of the most shocking wicks of the year.

In seconds, BTC plunged to $24,111 on a single exchange, then instantly snapped back as if nothing happened.

Most traders looked at the chart and screamed “manipulation.”

But the real explanation isn’t in the candles — it’s in the flows.

What actually happened 👇

This move occurred during an extreme low-liquidity window — a time when:

Institutions were offline

Retail was inactive

Order books were unusually thin

At that exact moment, large BTC transfers moved rapidly through hot wallets and straight into the market.

Not slowly.

Not carefully.

In size, and in succession.

When big flows hit thin liquidity:

Order books lose depth

Slippage explodes

Bids get eaten instantly

One aggressive market order or liquidation can rip through price levels

Price doesn’t “fall” — it teleports.

BTC sliced through bids until it finally hit deep resting limit orders below $25K.

Those bids absorbed the sell pressure, and price snapped back immediately.

That’s why the wick reversed in seconds.

Key point:

This was not a real sell-off.

This was a liquidity vacuum.

✔ Thin liquidity

✔ Large BTC flows

✔ Aggressive execution

✔ Deep bids waiting below

Result: a violent wick — not a sustained price collapse.

And yes, a few traders with extreme low bids got filled at prices most people will never see again.

Flash wicks always do two things:

Reward patience

Punish over-leverage

No conspiracy required. Just pure market mechanics.

I’ve been in crypto for over a decade, and moves like this always deliver the same lesson:

Stop staring at candles. Start watching flows.

That’s where the truth lives.

When the real bottom forms and I start aggressively loading BTC again, I’ll post it here.

Not for hype.

For timing.
