Bitcoin Price Volatility Returns at Week’s End

According to Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, BTC/USD is nearing a vital reclaim area.

As it strives to close daily above the simple 10-day moving average, the pair rebounded from around $114,500, while the market appeared to overlook one of the largest BTC sell-offs ever.

This surge occurred alongside news of a trade tariff suspension extension between the US and China.

China and the US have agreed to extend the tariff suspension for another 90 days.

This led participants in the market to focus on significant levels as they looked to start a new week.

“$BTC needs to surpass $119.5K for significant movement. If that doesn’t happen, we’ll likely see continued range trading,” remarked a trader in an online post.

“I believe BTC could break this level next month, which would signal the next phase.”

Popular trader Rekt Capital pointed to a slightly higher target zone just under the $120,000 mark.

“Bitcoin consistently closes at the lower range before moving to a previously lost range,” he explained. “Dipping into the low range is an attempt to confirm a recovery,” he added.

Others have cautioned that prices may address previous gaps in daily movement.

In an online discussion, fellow trader Crypnuevo identified liquidity zones and corresponding targets in trading order books.

Liquidation Cluster: It can be found within two major liquidation clusters.

•$121K-$120K
•$114.5K-$113.6K

Based on past behavior, positions could first target the upper cluster before returning to the lower region. It’s a defined trading environment.

“If you take a step back, the primary liquidation point is around $113.8K,” he noted.

“Thus, we regard the negative liquidation cluster as a natural target for the near term ($114.5K-$113.6K).”

Analysts Expect Wider Price Movements

Recent data from monitoring resources indicates that the “maximum pain” point for BTC shorts is around $119,650.

If Bitcoin aims to challenge its all-time high close to $123,000, short liquidations could exceed $1.1 billion.

There’s considerable resistance forming around the $119,000-$120,000 level, as suggested by a densely packed liquidation cluster.

Analysts have been noting increased volatility, especially over shorter time frames.

“I see a lot of red on the BTC GEX+ chart. This suggests dealers are heavily short, which might escalate volatility as they hedge their positions,” one analyst reported.

“I expect more pronounced price shifts in the near future. Keep a close watch on these movements.”
