Bitcoin pushed above $123,000 but slipped soon after, leaving a line of lower highs. That signals some short-term weakness. Sellers stepped in again around $118,000\u2013$119,500, keeping the price capped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trading volume looks steady, meaning there\u2019s no strong buying pressure during this pullback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s still a key breakout zone near $119,500. A move back above that level would show that momentum is improving. For now, the broader view remains upbeat. Van de Poppe still expects strength in November and says dips can be worth watching. However, if Bitcoin price falls below the $107,000 area, the downside risk increases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPLORE:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/is-it-all-over-for-the-bull-run-rates-cuts-sink-crypto-markets-heres-why-crypto-is-down\/\">Is It All Over For the Bull Run?
