Bitcoin Price Volatility Continues with $126K Target from Options Traders

Bitcoin's price has experienced volatility, dipping to $112K and rebounding towards a potential breakout above $115K. Over $1 billion in crypto market liquidations occurred last Friday amid this fluctuation.

Key points include:

  • BTC faces rejection at $115K; traders anticipate a breakout.
  • QCP Capital analysts view the recent pullback as a correction, not capitulation.
  • July’s monthly close for Bitcoin set a record high.
  • Improving macro conditions include stablecoin adoption and regulatory clarity.
  • Options market shows demand for BTC call options at $118K, $124K, and $126K.
  • Current elevated put skew may normalize if BTC surpasses $115K.
  • Upcoming ETF flow data is crucial for market sentiment.

The crypto market sell-off correlated with traditional markets, driven by a weaker U.S. jobs report and tariff tensions. Revised data indicates a cut of 250,000 jobs from previous figures, suggesting a weakened labor market.

CME FedWatch tool indicates over 80% expectation for a Fed rate cut in September, up from 39% previously, hinting at possible quantitative easing measures.

Investor Robert Kiyosaki mentioned he would increase his BTC holdings if the price drops further, viewing it as a buying opportunity.
