After reaching a new all-time high, Bitcoin corrected by more than 4%, and according to analysts, it could fall to $114,000 in the short term. Increased activity by large players in the derivatives markets and a rise in open interest (OI) suggest the risk of further volatility, even though fundamentals remain strong.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin seeks direction after correction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After Tuesday’s 4.2% decline, Bitcoin<\/a> traded around $122,000 on Wednesday. Analysts consider the correction to be expected, as the rise to new highs was not accompanied by corresponding momentum. However, during the day, the price climbed back above $124,000. Activity in the derivatives markets suggests that the market remains tense, with large traders, according to an analyst going by the nickname Skew, manipulating liquidity as part of “predatory” strategies on major exchanges, including Binance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data from CoinGlass<\/a>, market liquidity began to increase overnight, and both buy and sell orders are thickening. This could lead to the creation of a short-term consolidation zone around current levels. Traders are therefore watching the development of support zones that could determine the next direction. Analyst ZYN noted that support is weak between $121,000 and $120,000, but more significant buyer interest could emerge at $117,000, where nearly 190,000 BTC was last purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts see room for buying between $118,000 and $114,000.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another key area remains the $114,000 level, which the Material Indicators platform<\/a> refers to as the “last line of defense.” This level also corresponds to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), often seen as an important threshold for the return of buying power. According to renowned trader Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe, the range between $118,000 and $114,000 represents an ideal buying opportunity during a decline. “A new all-time high is often followed by a phase of profit-taking. A short-term pullback is therefore natural,” the analyst said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While short-term fluctuations may send the price of Bitcoin even lower, the overall market sentiment remains largely positive. Trading volumes and buying activity at lower levels suggest that investors see the current decline as an opportunity rather than the beginning of a larger downturn. The market is thus entering a phase of consolidation, which could pave the way for further growth in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
