Bitcoin is trying to start a recovery from $112,000, but bears may pose a substantial challenge at $117,000 and then at $120,000.

Bitcoin is trying to take support near $112,000, but higher levels are likely to attract selling by the bears.

The deep pullback in several altcoins suggests the next leg of the up move may not happen in a hurry.

 bulls are trying to maintain the price above $115,000, but are facing stiff resistance from the bears. Maelstrom Fund Chief Investment Officer Arthur Hayes said in a comment to a post on X that sluggish credit market and slowed job creation could sink BTC to $100,000 and Ether

US spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and ETH ETFs fund flows also showed cautiousness among traders. Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $812.25 million on Friday, and Ethereum ETFs saw $152.26 million in outflows, ending a 20-day inflow streak per SoSoValue data.
