Bitcoin gears up for ‘Uptober’ after $114K rally revives bulls
Bitcoin's price surged by 4.5% in under 48 hours, reaching $114,000, following a significant correction previously that saw it fall to $109,500 from $115,600. This correction was attributed to long positions de-leveraging, indicating a healthier setup for future price increases. Centralized exchanges show a trend of accumulation with outflows exceeding inflows by around 170,000 BTC over the past 30 days. Analysts suggest that as funds stabilize above $113,000, a potential rally could lead to targets above $115,000. However, a short-term CME gap risk remains at $111,300, which has historically been revisited, indicating a possibility for a slight pullback before any extended rally. Trading indicators indicate a cooling funding rate, aiding in a gradual increase in leverage. A strong close above $115,000 might reduce the probability that the price will dip back to $111,000. Historical trends show a high likelihood of CME gap fills, which are critical for near-term price assessments in the bullish context of Q4.
