Notable Developments:
Trader Notes: Renowned crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez has pointed out that Bitcoin has reclaimed the $122,000 price point for the third time. The pressing question now is whether it can maintain this level.
Further analysis from Ted Pillows emphasized the significant resistance at $125,000, where large sell orders are positioned. In contrast, critical support levels are found at $119,500 and $117,500. The market is currently assessing whether Bitcoin will first test the $125,000 resistance or retrace towards the $118,000 support.
Another trader, Dom, provided insights into the Bitcoin order book, revealing that the $123,000–$125,000 range is densely packed with sell walls—approximately 600 BTC on Binance and an additional 300 BTC on Coinbase. This area is regarded as the final hurdle before a potential breakout, while $117,000 remains a crucial support level for sustaining a bullish trend. The market now faces a pivotal moment: overcome the sell walls or revisit the support.
