Bitcoin’s Tug of War: Is a Reversal on the Horizon?

Due to sellers capping each price breakout at $112,000, bitcoin traders competed for the majority of the week. In the meantime, buyers continuously intervened to protect declines between $107,000 and $108,000. The failure of Bitcoin to maintain prices above $112,000 and its frequent returns to the range lows have alarmed several analysts. Nonetheless, the range compression shown by the daily and four-hour higher lows and lower highs may be encouraging.

Technical analysts frequently observe that volatility typically decreases and prices start to stabilize following a significant market move, such as the sell-off on October 10. Expectations of a squeeze before expansion are frequently raised by this pattern. Moreover, Bitcoin open positions dropped by 50% during this wave.

Bitcoin Buyers Step In Aggressively: Is $120K the Next Target?

There are some encouraging trends behind the daily market action that point to Bitcoin eventually returning to the $120,000 price range. The spot Bitcoin ETFs made $477 million on Tuesday when the price of the cryptocurrency rose from $107,500 to $114,000. Data indicates that spot buyers from a variety of order-size groupings on Binance and Coinbase have been making aggressive purchases in addition to these inflows. From $101,500 on Binance to this week’s range high of $114,000, they have been purchasing across the whole range.
