During that time period, which is less than three years, you’ve had five corrections of 20% or more in Nvidia before it went back up to all-time highs. Bitcoin’s going to do the same thing,” Visser stated.Visser believes Bitcoin is part of the AI trade and will become the best store of value in the digital age as artificial intelligence continues to disrupt traditional economic sectors.Technical Indicators Point to Mixed SignalsThe recent opening of Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) created a gap, marking the first such occurrence in several weeks. This development has introduced an element of uncertainty into the market.Historical patterns suggest that CME gaps typically close quickly, which has led some traders to worry about a potential near-term pullback. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades notes that if Bitcoin falls below the $111,000 level, downside risk could increase.The futures market shows increased activity, with open interest climbing 2% to over $78.5 billion. Last week saw major leverage flush-outs in the cryptocurrency market, triggering over $1 billion in daily liquidations on two separate occasions.Bitcoin is currently testing the $112,000 level, which has served as a point of rejection in recent trading sessions. A successful breakout above this threshold would set a bullish tone for October, while another rejection could open the door to a drop toward $105,000.Looking Forward to “Uptober”Despite September’s volatility, Bitcoin remains up approximately 3% for the month. Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen points out that Bitcoin secured a weekly close above its bull market support band, comparing the current market setup to September 2020.In 2020, Bitcoin posted two weeks of gains followed by two weeks of pullbacks before embarking on a strong rally in October. This pattern has fueled optimism about the potential for an “Uptober” rally in 2024.Data from CoinGlass shows that historically, Bitcoin has delivered gains of 10-30% in October over the past decade, earning the month its “Uptober” nickname among crypto enthusiasts.Bitcoin’s current price of $111,900 represents an 11% decrease from its all-time high of over $123,000. Investors remain divided on whether BTC will reach new highs in Q4, potentially pushing toward $140,000, or if the recent drawdown marks the beginning of a prolonged bear market that could take prices down to $60,000.Bitcoin Price on CoinGeckoMarket veterans like Mike Novogratz maintain optimism, believing that Bitcoin could rally to $200,000 during the current bull cycle.The cryptocurrency continues to face regulatory hurdles, and the lack of progress on a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the United States has tempered expectations for some analysts who had previously forecast that government purchases would serve as a major price catalyst in 2025.Bitcoin bulls now need to defend the $111,000 level to prevent further downside movement as the market enters October, a month that has historically favored cryptocurrency performance.The post Bitcoin (BTC) Price: Trading Volume Jumps 50% as Price Reclaims $111,000 appeared first on Blockonomi.
