BTC 15-minute technical rebound of 0.41%: Buying support pushes the price higher after liquidation pressure is relieved.

On July 9, 2026, from 13:00 to 13:15 (UTC), BTC achieved a +0.41% return within 15 minutes, rising from 62,609.7 USDT to 62,919.3 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.49%. This window falls into the ultra-high-frequency trading category, showing signs of short-term price correction, and market attention has increased.

The main driver of this movement is a technical rebound following liquidation. Data shows that on July 8, BTC futures experienced a total liquidation of $72.64 million over 24 hours, with 58.62% of these liquidations being long positions; on July 9, liquidation amounted to $28.58 million, with long liquidations surging to 87.7%. The extreme proportion of long liquidations indicates that leveraged longs were forcibly closed, releasing short-term selling pressure, while spot buyers stepped in on dips, creating a short-term supply-demand imbalance that pushed prices upward.

Meanwhile, multiple factors resonated to amplify volatility. First, on-chain data shows whale activity has increased, with over 270,000 BTC accumulated in the past two weeks, indicating institutional buying on dips providing a support floor; second, geopolitical risks have intensified (renewed US-Iran conflict), and BTC has shown resilience above $62,000, with some funds viewing it as a safe-haven asset allocation; finally, the probability of the Fed maintaining hawkish expectations at the end of July is 70%, with macro downside risks already priced in, limiting marginal impact.

Current risks to monitor include: the 15-minute data granularity is very fine, and a single large transaction can cause this level of volatility, so attribution should be approached cautiously; although futures positions remain stable between $42 billion and $51 billion, there has been no significant increase in leverage, so long risk is not fully alleviated; if the Fed adopts a more hawkish stance beyond market expectations at the end of July, BTC could resume a downward trend. Attention should be paid to the $62,000 support level and on-chain capital flows.
