Technical indicators show the asset under pressure, with the 20-day and 50-day moving averages turning lower and a bearish crossover emerging on the MACD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to the mid-40s, signaling cooling buying strength and the potential for further downside if support fails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Analysts are eyeing $107,000\u2013$110,000 as the crucial short-term demand zone. A decisive break below this area could open the path toward $100,000, while a bounce above $115,000\u2013$123,000 would be needed to restore bullish sentiment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBitcoin\u2019s structure suggests fatigue at the top, with a potential double-top formation visible around $126,000,\u201d one <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoFaibik\/status\/1978366760857256334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">market analyst<\/a> noted. \u201cA weekly close below $110K would likely trigger broader profit-taking.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Whales Turn Cautious, Bitcoin ETF Inflows Slow<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On-chain data indicates that BTC whales have increased short exposure, signaling caution among large holders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This aligns with reports of falling <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/etf\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ETF inflows<\/a>, which declined by over $223 million this week after surging more than $2.7 billion the week before. Analysts suggest this cooldown reflects a pause in institutional demand following months of aggressive accumulation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, traders are closely watching macro developments, as gold\u2019s rally to a record $4,200 has drawn some capital away from Bitcoin\u2019s \u201cdigital gold\u201d narrative. Weak U.S. data and tariff-related volatility have added pressure, pushing some investors back toward traditional safe havens.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Analysts Warn of Rising Wedge Breakdown<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/BTCUSD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin\u2019s weekly chart<\/a> shows a rising wedge pattern, often a bearish setup. If BTC closes the week below $110,000, the structure projects a potential downside target around $74,000, representing a 34% correction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, long-term metrics such as hash rate and network activity remain strong, suggesting that any deep retracement could offer a buying opportunity for patient investors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">For now, Bitcoin\u2019s next move hinges on whether bulls can defend the $110K floor. A strong rebound from here could set the stage for another attempt toward $126K, but failure to hold support risks ushering in a much sharper correction before the next major rally begins.<\/p>\n<p>Cover image from ChatGPT, BTCUSD chart on Tradingview<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) is once again testing critical support above $111,000, with traders debating whether the recent pullback marks the start of a deeper correction or a healthy consolidation before the next leg higher.
