Bitcoin Price Forecast: Bitcoin Value Reaches Unprecedented High of $125.7K Amidst Rising ETF Inflows

The price of Bitcoin (Bitcoin) surged to an unprecedented peak overnight, approaching $125,700 during Sunday’s trading session in Asia before retracting to the lower end of the $123,000 area.

This optimistic movement extended an eight-day winning trend and emerged as spot ETF inflows increased, coinciding with a weaker US dollar amid growing worries over a potential government shutdown.

The recent surge has exceeded Bitcoin’s previous peak from mid-August, marking a significant achievement in the cryptocurrency’s strongest performance since early 2024. Price fluctuations became unstable around 12:45 a.m. ET, with Bitcoin reaching new highs before dropping several thousand dollars.

Duration of Bitcoin’s Uptrend Trend in the Face of Increasing Shorts?

A key driver behind this movement has been the ongoing purchasing through US spot BTC ETFs.

CoinGlass data indicates nearly $+985.10M in net inflows as of today, marking the second-highest since their launch in January, aligning with Bitcoin’s ascent to new heights.

On-chain analytics base level the uptrend outlook: the amount of BTC held on exchanges has dropped to approximately 2.83 million coins, marking a six-year low.

Experts believe that the decline in the available supply could limit selling pressure, thereby supporting the broader downtrend narrative as investors position themselves against a weaker dollar.

Crypto holder Skew observed on X that the ongoing rally might be seen as tempting for overzealous longs, noting that “passive shorts” are accumulating near present highs, indicating that downtrend positions are being quietly formed despite the uptrend headlines.

In the near term, Bitcoin faces the pivotal question of whether ETF inflows and supportive macroeconomic factors will maintain the price breakout or if the market will transition into a new phase of consolidation.

Trading over the weekend often amplifies price changes due to lower trading volumes, making recent fluctuations less reliable as indicators of the longer-term trajectory.

Analyst CrypNuevo pointed out that the 50-period EMA on the four-hour chart is currently positioned just above $118,000, serving as a potential short-term support level if Bitcoin’s price continues to correct.

For the coming week, a retest of the 4h50EMA seems likely – it’s currently overextended and you can observe retests in previous similar price movements.

Subsequently, a further upward movement should materialize.

As such, I remain inclined towards long positions from the 4h50EMA. pic.twitter.com/gEqDGmLbA8

This level, he noted, might function as a “cooling zone” allowing the trading market to reset prior to another upward leg.

Simultaneously, Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin’s rejection around $124,000 was not unexpected.

It shouldn’t be surprising that BTC faced rejection from approximately $124k on its first attempt to break above in this uptrend trend.

Historically, the last time Bitcoin faced a rejection around $124k, it preceded a -13% pullback.

BTC must demonstrate that this $124k resistance is losing strength… https://t.co/gcdXXQVyDv pic.twitter.com/GoXeBtyUlO

He pointed out that this level has previously acted as barrier level, leading to a 13% decline.

The upcoming sessions will be critical. Traders are keenly observing whether Bitcoin can stabilize above vital base level or fall into a more profound correction as the crypto market cools.

BTC has technically emerged from a declining channel that had influenced price movements since August.

This development resembles a prior price breakout seen earlier in the year, featuring a robust upward trend following several weeks of sideways movement.

In a chart shared by Bitbull, two parallel tracks were displayed, each characterized by significant rallies. At around $124,700, he estimates the potential for a rise to between $135,000 and $140,000 in the near term.

$BTC uptrend remains intact.

While some corrections may occur, it is not the peak.

Bitbull even stated that the current cycle could peak up to $160,000 by November, suggesting the crypto market has yet to reach its zenith.

In a separate analysis by Daan Crypto, a clear sign of Bitcoin’s strength on the weekly chart is the rebound from the Bull Market Base level Band.

After consolidating around that level for several weeks, BTC surged past $124,000, confirming a revival of the overarching upward trend. Historically, that band has often signified the commencement of substantial bull runs.

The analyst noted that rebounding from this region reinforces Bitcoin’s uptrend structure.

As long as the support band is not breached, he added, the trend continues upward as long as buyers maintain control.
