While some analysts predict BTC may reach a new all-time high of $120,000 in the coming weeks, declining funding rates are raising some caution.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin To Hit $120,000 Soon?<\/h2>\n<p>In an X post published today, seasoned crypto market commentator Ted Pillows noted that Bitcoin remains in sync with the Wyckoff Accumulation pattern and is <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-riding-global-liquidity-wave-analyst-eyes-150000-target\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">tracking<\/a> the growth in global M2 money supply.<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, The M2 global money supply refers to the total amount of money in circulation worldwide, including cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near-money like savings deposits. It is a key indicator of global liquidity and central bank monetary policy, often used to assess inflation risk and economic growth potential.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst shared the following chart, showing M2 money supply growth (in white) leading Bitcoin\u2019s price action (in blue). Based on the chart, BTC may climb to $120,000 in the coming weeks and potentially as high as $153,000 by October 2025.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-524934 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?resize=666%2C660\" alt=\"ted\" width=\"666\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=1745 1745w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=424 424w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=666 666w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=64 64w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=75 75w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ted.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\"><\/p>\n<p>Fellow crypto trader Merlijn The Trader <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MerlijnTrader\/status\/1941920078452171080\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">echoed<\/a> Ted\u2019s view, stating that BTC is \u201cplaying out the classic Wyckoff script.\u201d Following April 2025\u2019s false breakdown that saw BTC tumble to $75,600, the digital asset is now entering the \u201cliftoff\u201d phase, which typically features strong upward price movement.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Funding Rates Decline On Binance<\/h2>\n<p>While the Wyckoff pattern suggests further gains for BTC, exchange data shows a different story. Specifically, funding rates on Binance indicate growing short interest among traders.<\/p>\n<p>According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor BorisVest, a significant number of traders are betting against the rally. However, if BTC\u2019s price continues to climb, these traders may be at risk of liquidation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-524933 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09%E2%80%AFPM.png?resize=1748%2C980\" alt=\"cq1\" width=\"1748\" height=\"980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09\u202fPM.png?w=1748 1748w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09\u202fPM.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09\u202fPM.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09\u202fPM.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09\u202fPM.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09\u202fPM.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-at-12.08.09\u202fPM.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p>The analyst noted that a mismatch between funding rates and price action often triggers forced short liquidations or margin calls. Both outcomes can <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-weekly-rsi-climbs-toward-upper-boundary-will-btc-bulls-push-through\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">amplify<\/a> upward momentum in price.<\/p>\n<p>Since Binance is the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, its funding rates often serve as a proxy for broader market sentiment. BorisVest explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As Bitcoin continues to rise, these shorts face growing pressure and are gradually forced out of the market \u2013 either through liquidations or margin calls. This process accelerates the bullish momentum, creating a feedback loop that pushes prices even higher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That said, the strong June 2025 US employment data showed no signs of economic weakness, reducing the likelihood of a near-term rate cut from the Federal Reserve, which could <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-under-pressure-as-us-job-growth-slashes-fed-rate-cut-hopes-is-the-rally-over\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">weigh<\/a> on risk-on assets like Bitcoin.
