Bitcoin (BTC) just survived a sharp correction to $112K, shaking out over-leveraged traders — but is the worst over?
Analysts now point to 5 major signals hinting at a bullish continuation, with a path toward $120K–$126K if key levels are reclaimed. Let’s break it down:

1️⃣ Power of 3 Pattern: Targeting $126K
BTC is playing out a “Power of 3” pattern — a concept used to map institutional market behavior:
Accumulation: Between $119.5K–$115.3K
Manipulation: The dump to $112K flushed out retail longs
Distribution: If BTC reclaims $115.3K, next stop could be $126K
📊 This model predicts that once manipulation ends, a bullish run follows — if confirmations come in.

2️⃣ $922M Liquidation: Leverage Reset Is Bullish.
Last Friday saw $922M in liquidations, including $240M in BTC futures.
Open interest dropped 10%, signaling speculative positions got wiped out
Funding rates turned negative, suggesting retail is now bearishly skewed
Historically, such events clear the path for stronger long positions to enter.

3️⃣ Binance Volume Shows Capitulation
According to CryptoQuant, Binance’s net taker volume fell below -$1.5B — a clear sign of panic selling.
This level, last seen on July 25, often marks local bottoms, where institutional buyers start scooping up BTC.
Support zone and FVG structure
4️⃣ Fair Value Gap Filled – Retest of Support Complete
BTC successfully absorbed the Fair Value Gap between $115.2K–$112K, retesting prior all-time high zones.
If $115.3K flips into support, it adds to the bullish reversal case. $116.8K–$120K would be next key levels.

5️⃣ $120K = Price Magnet, But Needs Breakout
Market data shows a heavy liquidity cluster at $120K — making it a natural magnet for price.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe notes that a clean break of $114.8K and $116.8K could launch BTC toward this zone.
🚨 However, a drop back to $110K isn’t ruled out if bulls fail to hold support.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Bitcoin’s sharp decline to $112K may have been a healthy reset, not a breakdown. With:
Derivatives markets flushed
Key support zones retested
Bullish patterns forming
The path to $120K+ is now open — if BTC can confirm its strength above $115.3K and $116.8K.
📉 Weak hands are out. 🧠 Smart money might just be stepping in.
📢 Stay informed. Stay ahead.
