The move above the upper boundary coincided with a surge in momentum that carried the price into the previous supply zone around $124K\u2013$126K, where sellers have started to show mild resistance.<\/p>\n<p>The bullish structure remains intact, supported by the golden cross between the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which continue to act as dynamic support lines. As long as the price sustains above $120K, the broader uptrend remains valid, and a clean daily close above $126K could open the path toward $130K\u2013$132K in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>However, failure to hold above $120K may trigger a healthy retracement toward the mid-range support near $115K, which aligns with the breakout structure and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1415446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415446\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1415446 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"btc_price_chart_0610251\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-1024x564.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-1536x846.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-2048x1128.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-90x50.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-2000x1101.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-1600x881.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-1400x771.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-1200x661.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-1000x551.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-900x495.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-800x440.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-700x385.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-600x330.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-500x275.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-400x220.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-200x110.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-D-2-100x55.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1415446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n<p>The 4-hour chart shows BTC recently increasing above the $118K decision point, making it a breaker block, and rallying rapidly toward the ATH zone around $125K. The impulsive nature of this move has created a clear imbalance, with potential retracement zones identified between $115K and $113K, aligning with Fibonacci confluence levels (0.618\u20130.702 range).<\/p>\n<p>This zone serves as a short-term re-accumulation area, and holding above it would confirm continued bullish control. The market is currently consolidating near a liquidity-dense area, suggesting that a brief pullback could attract renewed buying interest before the next leg higher.<\/p>\n<p>If the price fails to defend the $118K breakout block and the $113K-$115K Fibonacci range, the next key demand lies around $ 109K\u2013$110 K, where strong buying previously initiated the breakout.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1415443\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415443\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1415443 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"btc_price_chart_0610252\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-1024x564.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-1536x846.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-2048x1128.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-90x50.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-2000x1101.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-1600x881.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-1400x771.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-1200x661.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-1000x551.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-900x495.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-800x440.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-700x385.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-600x330.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-500x275.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-400x220.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-200x110.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-2-100x55.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1415443\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>By Shayan<\/p>\n<p>The latest 1-week Binance liquidation heatmap reveals a significant buildup of liquidity zones, with particularly dense liquidation clusters forming around $128K\u2013$130K. These high-density regions indicate where a large volume of leveraged short positions has accumulated, making them ideal targets for potential price continuation or liquidity sweeps.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the recent rally from $110K to above $123K, we can observe a steady absorption of lower-level liquidity, each upward impulse clearing prior short positions before consolidating. The presence of major liquidation pockets below the current price, especially around the $120K region, highlights that downside risk is also in play in the short term, suggesting that the market is still poised for a pullback or correction before the next move.<\/p>\n<p>This shift reflects a market positioning bias where late sellers are entering shorts near resistance, giving Bitcoin room to extend upward toward $128K\u2013$130K as those positions are forced to close.<\/p>\n<p>If the price maintains its footing above $120K, a short-squeeze continuation into the upper liquidity band appears likely before any meaningful retracement occurs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1415444\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415444\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1415444 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"binance_btc_usdt_liquidations_heatmap_chart_0610251\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-1536x1126.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-2048x1502.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-90x66.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-123x90.jpg 123w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-2000x1467.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-1600x1173.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-1400x1027.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-1200x880.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-1000x733.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-900x660.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-800x587.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-700x513.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-600x440.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-500x367.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-400x293.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-200x147.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Binance_BTC_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2025_10_06_09_41_28-100x73.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1415444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Coinglass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-analysis-btc-looking-at-a-pullback-to-118k-before-next-major-leg-up\/\">Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Looking at a Pullback to $118K Before Next Major Leg Up<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin has broken above its ATH at the $125K region, signaling strong momentum.
