Despite the late-week surge bringing Bitcoin within reach of $120,000, the momentum paused. However, the sustained Bitcoin price in the vicinity of $119,000, according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView data, has instilled a sense of optimism among traders. Crypto Tony, a well-known trader, opines that once Bitcoin retains its value over $117,000, new all-time highs could be imminent.

Rekt Capital, a popular analyst, suggests that Bitcoin has initiated a bull flag with its weekly close around $119,450. He predicts a potential retest of the $119,200 support level in the upcoming week. However, Bitcoin needs to circumvent an upside wick beyond the Bull Flag Top resistance to remain within the range.

As the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision is due, the market is buzzing with anticipation. The GDP of Q2 is to be announced just hours before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Wednesday. The following day, the market will witness the release of the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index. Market participants are eager for clues on potential rate cuts in the remaining meetings of the year.

Adding a dash of optimism in the risk-asset market is the recent US-EU trade deal. This agreement has spurred a rally in US stocks futures, with the S&P 500 opening above 6,400 for the first time. Both President Trump and European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen have lauded this as the “biggest trade deal ever.” The easing of trade tensions and liquidity tailwinds have pushed the S&P 500 to new highs while volatility subsides.

Bitcoin’s performance in July 2025 may seem impressive at around $120,000, but past performances during July have been even more favorable. Data from CoinGlass shows that Bitcoin is only marginally above the average for the past 12 years. However, Bitcoin bulls need to maintain early July gains to show positive momentum.

Lastly, the stablecoin supply ratio (SSR) highlights a potential cap on Bitcoin price upside until it resolves. An increase in SSR could indicate a lack of stablecoin liquidity available for investment. CryptoQuant, an on-chain analytics platform, suggests that the market may be entering a period of temporary saturation.

The current XRPUSD trading value is 13% less than its recent all-time highs, showing no signs of recovery after the sell-off. This has led to fresh concerns among investors about becoming the “exit liquidity” as Larsen continues to move large amounts of tokens to exchanges.

Responding to this situation, J. A. Maartunn, a contributor to onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant, advised XRP holders to avoid getting “dumped on”. He warned that the recent 50 million XRP outflows were just a fraction of the huge stash Larsen still possesses.

Maartunn further added, “Chris Larsen (Ripple co-founder) still holds 2.58B $XRP — that’s $8.83B. If $200M was just the warm-up… what’s next?”

Despite the recent sell-off, XRP remains a major altcoin that led the sector’s revival this month, following Bitcoin’s consolidation. As of now, XRPUSD is valued at $3.18, indicating a 13% correction according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView.

“Don’t get dumped on. Don’t be the exit liquidity. Protect yourself,” Maartunn advised. Other market participants, including trader ManLy, echoed these concerns.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin shrugged off a massive 80,000 BTC sale by a Satoshi-era whale, which caused a brief dip in BTCUSD to around $114,500 before it rebounded. During this volatility, 24-hour crypto liquidations surpassed $500 million, as per data from monitoring resource CoinGlass.

Bitcoin’s value experienced a minor decline, with a fall of $343.65, bringing it to a current valuation of $118997.29 according to the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index. This represents a 0.29% dip in the last trading session.

Over the past three days, the cryptocurrency has seen a decrease twice, however, it’s worth noting that it is still up by 10.4% for the month-to-date and has seen an impressive 27.39% rise since the beginning of the year.

Despite the recent drop, Bitcoin remains significantly higher than it was 52 weeks ago (July 18, 2024), when it was trading at $63517.58, an increase of 87.35%. This still represents a 3.38% decrease from its all-time intraday high of $123165.67 that was recorded on July 14, 2025.

On the lower end, Bitcoin recorded an intraday low of $117522.85, which is a decline of 1.52% for the day. However, it has rallied 138.32% from its 52-week intraday low of $49314.04 on Aug. 5, 2024.

The M2 money supply is a broad indicator of liquidity, accounting for US dollar-adjusted liquidity from major economies such as the United States, the eurozone, Japan, the UK, and Canada. An increase in M2 signifies increased circulation of money in the economy, inclusive of bank accounts, checking deposits, and other liquid assets. This surge in liquidity can lead to an influx of capital into riskier assets, such as cryptocurrencies.

Historically, Bitcoin’s price trajectory has shown a lagged response to global and US M2 supply changes, typically within a 3–6 month window, particularly during liquidity shifts. In certain instances, like the April 2025 surge above $100,000, the delay was as short as 1–2 weeks.

According to Crypto Auris, a noted analyst, as the global money supply expands, Bitcoin’s next milestone is poised at ~$170K. Analysts across the board predict the BTC price to fall within the $150,000-200,000 range by the end of 2025, largely driven by increased institutional investments through ETFs and corporations.

The upsurge in Bitcoin demand is juxtaposed with a declining US dollar. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has dipped by 10.8% in the first half of 2025, marking its worst performance since 1973. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has appreciated by 13.25% during the same period, signifying an inverse correlation with the dollar. Prolonged dollar weakness could potentially fuel a Bitcoin rally beyond its typical cycle behaviour.

“In 21 years, you’ll regret not buying more,” Saylor tweeted to his 4.4 million followers. Over the past year, the Strategy co-founder has gained approximately 1 million followers on the social media platform.

Strategy’s latest Bitcoin acquisition took place on June 23 when the company bought 245 BTC for $26 million, increasing its total holdings to 592,345 BTC, worth over $63.6 billion.

With its Bitcoin treasury, Strategy holds the position of the largest known corporate Bitcoin holder globally. In fact, Saylor’s firm owns over twice as much Bitcoin as the top 20 public Bitcoin treasury firms combined, as per the data from BitcoinTreasuries.

Analysts are still discussing if Strategy’s quick Bitcoin accumulation could cause a supply shock, pushing BTC prices up. However, other market players are questioning the sustainability of the corporate Bitcoin treasury model used by Strategy and its imitators that fund their BTC purchases with debt and equity – a potential issue that could induce the next Bitcoin bear market.

Strategy is unlikely to collapse under this pressure, but newer treasury companies might. A recent report from venture capital firm Breed suggests that only a few Bitcoin treasury companies will survive once Bitcoin prices fall.

“With inevitable failures, the strongest players are expected to acquire struggling companies and consolidate the industry,” the authors of the Breed report wrote.

“Newer treasury companies face this risk more severely, as they will have to raise capital under stricter terms and at higher leverage ratios than Strategy,” according to Breed.

The report highlighted that Strategy has a considerably higher chance of surviving the next major market downturn due to its size, BTC holdings, and its history of withstanding a previous bear market.

Strategy has shown discipline by continuing to accumulate Bitcoin even during the bear market, a characteristic that is likely to be seen in other successful BTC treasury companies, added the authors.

Jeff Walton, a Strategy investor and market analyst, recently forecasted a 91% probability of the company joining the S&P 500, a stock index of the 500 largest companies listed on the US stock market, in Q2 2025.

Surge to $175K?

Injecting a dose of optimism into the crypto milieu, pseudonymous crypto analyst Egrag Crypto forecasts a significant surge in the coming months. Using historical cycle data of BTC, the analyst suggests that the digital asset is ripe for a 102% increase, propelling it to a whopping $175,000 from its present levels.

Egrag backed this claim with a tweet pointing out that three major surges this cycle averaged at 102%, concluding that $175K is within reach. The analyst also emphasizes how Bitcoin’s resilience against recent geopolitical disturbances, such as the Israel-Iran conflict, further strengthens the bullish stance.

Similar sentiments were echoed by DeFiTracer, who pointed out the market’s tendency to bounce back from war-induced slumps, as evidenced in April and October 2024. He urged traders not to be swayed by whales and news reports, suggesting that the recent 4% dip serves as a springboard for the next ascent.

Or a Plunge?

However, not all share this bullish outlook. Veteran crypto analyst Ali Martinez has urged caution, warning of a potential steep market correction if crucial support levels fail to hold. He cited the offloading of almost 30,000 BTC by whales over the past week and the dwindling support at the $100,000 mark as reasons for concern. Should these levels break, Martinez presages a fall to as low as $78,500.

Michaël van de Poppe, a seasoned crypto strategist, also raised concerns about Bitcoin’s inability to maintain above $106,000, which prompted a southward liquidity shift. He outlined two possibilities: a buying opportunity below $100,000 or a resurgence if prices stabilize around $102,500.

Adding to this apprehension, market observer Axel Adler Jr. pointed to BTC’s OBV (On-Balance Volume) lingering in the red near $100,000. He suggested this indicates any bullish momentum may be short-lived.

Bitcoin’s weekly close has injected a sense of hope, despite the volatile swings throughout the week. The data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView indicates that BTCUSD has nearly maintained its weekly open position, which is crucial for those keen to observe proof of price strength after a $100,000 support retest.

Meanwhile, the public spat between Donald Trump and Elon Musk might unexpectedly turn out to be beneficial for crypto enthusiasts.

Exchange order book liquidity has been a significant factor in recent BTC price analysis. With sudden price surges and falls to capture thickening liquidity patches, the focus remains on the $100,000 mark as a test for the market’s resilience against long liquidation risk.

Additionally, the upcoming week will be crucial regarding the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rates, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data due for release. Inflation trends and the Fed’s decision could potentially impact the cryptocurrency market.

Finally, Bitcoin’s speculative investor base remains a potential source of short-term price volatility. At certain price points, the profitability of short-term hodlers could tempt them to sell or reduce their BTC exposure, impacting the market dynamics.

Bitcoin’s BTCUSD price is exhibiting a classic bearish pattern on lower time frames, stoking concerns that a breakdown could result in a fall to $97,000 or lower.

The bear flag is a bearish continuation setup formed when the price consolidates upward in a parallel channel following a sharp downward move. In Bitcoin’s situation, the flag began to form after BTC hit nearly $103,100 on May 31. Over the weekend, the consolidation has continued, with the price repeatedly testing the flag’s support line.

The bearish continuation will be validated if the price falls below the flag’s lower boundary at $104,800. The pattern’s projected downside target is currently near $97,690, calculated by adding the height of the initial flagpole to the breakout point.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView reveals that the BTCUSD pair has declined 6.3% from its all-time highs above $111,000. Despite closing 11% higher in May, traders are contemplating the future direction of Bitcoin’s price. The month of June has historically seen mixed results, with an average loss of 0.3%.

Noted crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades suggests monitoring the mid-range at $99,600 and the previous all-time high at $108,000 during the first week of June. A break above $108,000 could push the BTCUSD pair towards its $111,900 all-time high, where it would likely encounter significant resistance, leading to a fall back into the range. Conversely, a break below $99,600 could see the pair fall lower before finding comfort from the 200-day simple moving average at $97,600.

As Cointelegraph reported, Bitcoin traders are studying the weekly and monthly closes for hints as to where BTC price action might be headed next, with the psychological levels at $100,000 and $97,000 remaining key areas of interest.

“Orange is my favorite color,” he tweeted, referencing the color usually associated with Bitcoin. Saylor’s increasing social media presence aligns with Strategy’s escalating media attention, resultant from the company’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

On May 26, Strategy made its most recent purchase of 4,020 BTC, estimated at around $427 million at the time of the transaction. This acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to a massive 580,250 BTC. Based on data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Strategy now ranks as the single biggest known Bitcoin holder, its holdings even exceeding the combined total of Bitcoin held by the US and Chinese governments.

Traders often perceive Strategy as a proxy bet for Bitcoin, given its significant association with the digital asset. CryptoQuant analyst, Ki Young Ju, suggests that the company’s rapid collection of Bitcoin could be shifting market dynamics. Executives from crypto-native Sygnum Bank have stated that institutional buying could potentially cause a supply shock, pushing BTC prices upwards.

However, not everyone is convinced by Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings. Some market participants have started questioning the authenticity of Strategy’s reported Bitcoin numbers, expressing the need for regular proof of reserve audits. Critics argue that Strategy does not hold the amount of Bitcoin it claims to have, instead, possessing paper Bitcoin. Saylor responded to these criticisms by stating that proof of reserve audits could expose large institutions to potential threats by revealing their wallet details.

Many industry professionals and business leaders often cite this high level of transparency, inherent in public blockchains, as one of the main obstacles to institutions integrating their business operations onchain.

According to market analysis, a deeper pullback could be on the horizon before the bulls regain momentum for price discovery. The current resistance is predominantly due to profit-taking.

Bitcoin is vulnerable to a “deeper correction” as the next stage of its bull market could face a brief interruption. Analysts warn of prices falling below $100,000 as data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows an 8% drop in BTCUSD.

Bitcoin went below its old peak levels on May 31 as the latest correction approaches nearly $9,000 below its recent record high. After experiencing resistance from various sources, onchain indicators suggest a slowdown in bullish momentum.

A recent research report by onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant indicates that “some of Bitcoin’s demand metrics may be reaching a short-term top, which could hint at a pause in the current rally.”

The report mentions that “CryptoQuant’s estimate of Bitcoin’s demand growth in the last 30 days is at 229K, which is near the previous demand growth top of 279K Bitcoin reached in December 2024.” Notably, whale-held Bitcoin balances have increased by 2.8% over the past month, a rate frequently preceding a slowdown in whale accumulation.

CryptoQuant further states that unrealized profits were, on average, over 30% at $111,000, suggesting an imminent pause.

Despite maintaining a bullish outlook on a return to price discovery, market participants anticipate lower levels first. Popular trader Mags highlights the importance of the upcoming weekly candle close as a critical test of the bulls’ strength. If Bitcoin fails to retake the old record close at $104,450 from December 2024 on weekly timeframes, a “deeper pullback” may be in the offing.

Trader and analyst Aksel Kibar concurs that the bull market’s return “might be delayed.” He remains confident about the bullish interpretation as long as the price stays above 73.7K.

Amidst these developments, CryptoQuant sees the price possibly halting at $120,000, a key profit-taking station. However, it is essential for investors and traders to conduct their own research as every investment and trading move involves risks.
