Bitcoin At A Battleground — This Price Range Will Decide the Next Cycle Phase

The concept of a price battleground in Bitcoin markets refers to a critical price range where the forces of buying and selling pressure are in a fierce and decisive ￰0￱ is where the outcome is expected to determine BTC’s overall direction and confirm a continuation of a bull market or bear market ￰1￱ This Zone Will Define Bitcoin’s Next Expansion Phase In an X post, an institutional-grade reporter, Bitcoin Vector, has highlighted that BTC has entered its decisive battleground between $110,000 and $115,000, which could determine the trajectory of the entire ￰2￱ the past week, spot demand, which is the engine of sustained rallies, was notably weak and capped by the escalating US-China trade ￰3￱ Reading: Bitcoin Enters ‘Disbelief Phase’ – Could Short Sellers Face The Next Squeeze?

As those tensions eased, that spot demand showed signs of returning, allowing BTC to claw its way back above the critical $110,000 ￰4￱ recovery back into the battleground, momentum remains negative and ￰5￱ sustained inflow and spot demand, the bullish structure could fade fast, leaving BTC exposed to another pullback. However, if demand holds and momentum turns up, BTC advances deeper into the battleground. A failure to maintain this range and BTC may risk retreating again and raising the white flag. A full-time crypto trader, Sykodelic, has also offered a highly optimistic prediction that Bitcoin will be back to an All-Time High (ATH) by the end of the ￰6￱ market is still in uncertainty and fear, where BTC thrives for its next leg ￰7￱ is the stage of the cycle where disbelief ￰8￱ a result, traders convince themselves the rally is over, and that’s when BTC starts to move ￰9￱ the time BTC approaches its previous highs, traders will finally believe again, which often happens when another long flush clears out late entrants.

Technically, BTC price is moving back above the 4-hour 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Each time, Bitcoin successfully retests this level as support, the price continues to expand higher. “I think the worst is behind us,” Sykodelic ￰10￱ Supply Battle That Shapes The Next Cycle The current Bitcoin market is in a supply tug-of-war between two powerful ￰11￱ to the ambassador of MGBX_EN, BitBull, long-term holders (LTHs) have been constantly offloading their coins, while institutions are aggressively absorbing the supply through Spot ETFs and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs).

Meanwhile, the treasury holdings have quietly surpassed $120 billion, with BTC still dominating the ￰12￱ ETFs alone have absorbed tens of thousands of coins this quarter, proving that institutional demand remains strong. However, LTHs are still selling faster than ETFs, and DATs can absorb. Historically, when this kind of accelerated LTH distribution occurs, BTC tends to lose short-term ￰13￱ is not a bearish setup, but it does imply that the upside remains temporarily capped until the selling pressure fades. Thus, institutions are buying the strength, not the bottoms.

Ultimately, the next major breakout hinges on when long-term holders stop distributing and return to accumulation ￰14￱ image from Pixabay, chart from ￰15￱
