$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is holding strong across its major trading pairs—BTC/USD and BTC/USDT—hovering around $118 100–118 200 today, up ~1–2 % in the last 24 hours . Following a breakout on July 11, BTC surged past $118 600 on the USDT pair, triggering massive short liquidations—over $400 million in total—suggesting continued bullish momentum . Analyst Michaël van de Poppe forecasts a brief consolidation ahead, followed by a push toward $125 000 this July, and potentially $150–250 000 by year‑end . Broad capitulation in shorts and inflows into ETFs support upside bias. #BTC pair action remains dynamic—watch key support at ~$113 000 and resistance toward $120–125 k.
