Market perspective
Edul Patel, CEO of MudrexBitcoin is showing resilience, recovering to $122,200 after briefly testing $120,600 level. Investors turned to minor profit booking after a 12.5% weekly gain in the asset. However, strong institutional appetite continues to support BTC, helping it sustain momentum and recover quickly. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a massive inflow of $1.2 billion in just one day, influencing this price action. For now, $124,600 stands as an immediate resistance. If BTC breaks this level, a move towards new highs near $129,000 is likely, while $120,000 remains as a crucial support point.

Bitcoin is hovering near all-time highs around $125,000, driven by institutional interest and strong ETF inflows. Technicals remain bullish with price above key moving averages, RSI neutral-positive, and momentum building. Resistance lies at $125K–$130K, while support zones sit near $110K.
Consolidation is likely unless volume confirms a breakout. A drop below $107K could trigger a bearish reversal. Traders are watching for MACD crossovers, volume spikes, and RSI divergences. Volatility remains high, and macro factors like interest rates and regulation loom large. For now, Bitcoin holds its bullish structure, but caution is warranted at these elevated levels.
