The Bitcoin market is at a critical moment, with several indicators showing it is challenging the important level of $130,000. From a technical perspective, the weekly chart has confirmed $120,000 as a solid support, while a golden cross and a healthy RSI structure have emerged, reminiscent of the situation when the bull run started at the end of 2020.



On-chain data is equally encouraging. The exchange Bitcoin balance ratio has dropped to 12%, hitting a new low since 2018, indicating that investors are inclined to hold long-term. Meanwhile, large holders (commonly known as 'whales') have increased their holdings by 47,000 Bitcoins in the recent week, marking the largest single-week inflow in nearly two years.

The macroeconomic environment has also provided support for Bitcoin. According to data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the market anticipates a 78% probability of an interest rate cut in September. Additionally, institutional investors, including BlackRock, have increased their holdings by 23% over the past month, reflecting a growing confidence in the cryptocurrency market.

However, investors still need to be vigilant about potential risks. The $130,000 price level corresponds exactly to the 1.618 Fibonacci retracement level, which may become a strong resistance. Additionally, the upcoming policy review period by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could bring a degree of uncertainty to the market. Sudden changes in the geopolitical situation are also factors that require close attention.

The market sentiment indicator shows a positive but cautious trend. The funding rate in the futures market remains at a rational level of 0.01%, indicating that the market is not overheating. The miner holding index suggests that selling pressure may have bottomed out, which is generally seen as a positive signal. Another noteworthy phenomenon is that USDT has increased its issuance by 5 billion USD in the past month, which may indicate that more funds are preparing to enter the cryptocurrency market.

Overall, Bitcoin is facing a crucial moment as it approaches the important threshold of $130,000. While several indicators show positive signals, investors must remain vigilant and closely monitor market trends and potential risk factors.

The key indicator is the hold ratio, to be honest... The retail adoption curve looks bullish right now.
