BitcoinBTC( ) traded in ranges between $120,000 to $125,000 following a dramatic, but ordered, deleveraging on futures market, suggesting that $120,000 may be a demand-driven zone for traders over the near term.

Bitcoins recent rise from $120,000 is a result of the market analyst Skew. underscored There was a surge in buyer interest at this range. Binance’s data on the spot market showed an increase in the CVD (cumulative volume delta) at the $120,000 level, indicating renewed interest. 

Open interest decreased, indicating that short positions were closed, as the prices recovered.

MVRV Analysis points to Strong Q4 Outlook

Although the trend is consolidated, analysts are still optimistic about Bitcoin’s future trajectory. Market strategist Timo Oinonen highlighted The MVRV ratio (Market Value to Actual Value) is a good indicator for potential gains. The MVRV ratio compares Bitcoin’s market capitalization with its realized capitalization. It is a way to determine whether an asset’s value has increased or decreased relative to the cost of its owners.

According to Oinonen, Bitcoin’s MVRV currently suggests a base scenario where prices could climb 15% to 25% toward $140,000–$150,000 by the end of Q4, supported by long-term holder accumulation and resilient short-term cost bases.

In a more bullish scenario where MVRV rises above 4, mirroring the cycle of 2021, BTC could reach $170,000-$200,000, amid renewed market optimism and possible supply shortages after halving.
