Bitcoin Surges Past $115,000 Amidst Galaxy Digital’s Sales Pressure

Bitcoin has surpassed the $115,000 level, regaining momentum amid market uncertainty. Traders are optimistic about Bitcoin's resilience after it tested key support levels.

  • Despite positive movement, analysts caution about potential corrections due to a fragile broader structure.

Galaxy Digital's sales involve significant transactions, such as 1,190 BTC sent to Binance, worth over $135 million. This institutional selling occurs as bulls aim to maintain momentum above $115,000.

The US government shutdown poses risks to global markets, potentially affecting Bitcoin prices through fear-driven selling or attracting investors seeking a hedge.

BTC Approaches Resistance After Strong Rebound

Bitcoin is trading near $116,200 after rebounding from last week's lows of around $109,000. The price approaches the resistance zone at $117,500, a level that has limited rallies since August.

  • Bitcoin has moved above its 50-period and 100-period moving averages but still faces the 200-period average near $115,000.
  • A decisive close above $117,500 could lead to stronger buying pressure, aiming for $120,000 or yearly highs near $125,000.
  • Rejection at this level may result in profit-taking, pushing prices back to $114,000 or $112,000.
