BTC 15-minute sharp decline of 0.90%: liquidity gap area and macro risk aversion resonate, triggering short-term selling pressure

On March 5, 2026, from 16:00 to 16:15 (UTC), Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a -0.90% return within a short time window, with the price ranging from 70,800.8 to 71,653.9 USDT, and an amplitude of 1.19%. This anomaly occurred amid heightened market attention, with volatility significantly increasing, investor sentiment turning cautious, and trading volume and on-chain activity remaining high, intensifying short-term trading pressure. The main driver of this anomaly is that BTC is in a "gap zone" — meaning liquidity above 72,000 USDT is extremely thin, with only about 1% of circulation.
