Comprehensive Technical Analysis of BTC Price (As of July 11, 2025 — $117,809.88)

Step 1: Trend Analysis (Long-Term & Short-Term)

• Long-Term (Daily): The last three months show a very strong uptrend. Starting in mid-April at ~$85,000, price action climbed steadily with periods of consolidation followed by steep rallies. In the last two weeks, price leapt from ~$104,000–$107,000 to >$117,000, culminating in the current highs.
• Short-Term (Hourly): The last 24 hours display repeated tests of new highs, with minor hourly pullbacks but persistent higher highs, culminating at $118,780 before a slight retracement. Volatility has increased markedly, suggesting strong trading interest and possible profit-taking.

Step 2: Volume Analysis

• Volume Spike: On July 10–11, volume exploded, especially during the rally from $111,329 to $116,608, and again on the recent push toward all-time highs, indicating a surge in buying interest and possible FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Hourly volume on July 11 is also elevated during each bullish move.
• Interpretation: Large volume increases on upward price moves typically confirm the trend and suggest institutions or large buyers are active in the market.

Step 3: Candlestick & Price Action Patterns

• Bullish Momentum: July 10's candle is a strong bullish engulfing bar, and successive hourly candles on July 11 have long lower wicks and strong closes, indicating buyers stepped in at every dip.
• Micro Double Tops?: On the hourly chart, there are two minor peaks around $118,498 (9:00) and $118,780 (pre-market), potentially indicating short-term resistance, but not yet a full reversal pattern.
• No Significant Bearish Reversal Signs yet on intraday or daily timeframes.

Step 4: Support & Resistance Levels

• Major Resistance
  • $118,800 (new all-time high — psychological level)
  • $120,000 looming as next psychological barrier
• Strong Supports
  • $116,000–116,500 (prior tops, now retests as support on dips)
  • $114,000–$115,000 (primary breakout zone from July 10)
• Strategy: Immediate resistance is just overhead; if broken, next surge is likely.

Step 5: Moving Averages (MAs)

• Daily 50/100 SMA: Both EMAs are rising sharply; using last few weeks’ data, even the 50-day SMA likely sits below $110,000, showing a wide gap, strong bullish acceleration, and suggesting trend is extended but still ongoing.
• Intraday 20 EMA: On the hourly, price rode above the 20EMA almost all day, only briefly dipping and quickly recovering—bullish structure.

Step 6: RSI (Relative Strength Index)

• Daily RSI: Estimate is 75–80 (highly overbought, as the price is rallying steeply). Typically, this zone marks risk of short-term pullbacks, but in parabolic runs, RSI can remain overbought for days or weeks.
• Hourly RSI: Brief spikes above 80, cooling a bit on the last hour, but still >70 — short-term overbought.

Step 7: MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

• Daily MACD: Rapidly rising histogram and wide positive gap between MACD and signal line suggest strong and ongoing momentum.
• Hourly MACD: Shows small signs of plateauing in the last 2–3 hours, hinting at a possible sideways consolidation or shallow pullback.

Step 8: Fibonacci Levels (From $85,000 — April Lows)

• 61.8% fib extension lands at ~$115,000–$117,000, which the price now trades above. 100% extension points close to $120,000: likely next technical magnet for bulls.
• Any retest and hold of $116,000–$117,000 would confirm breakout is credible.

Step 9: Bollinger Bands

• Bands are expanding, price is hugging the upper band—momentum is strong, but historically, when price continually breaches upper band, small retracements occur before continuing higher.

Step 10: Pattern Recognition & Sentiment

• Flag/ Pennant Breakout: The recent rally from $108k to $118k resembles a bullish flag breakout after a week-long consolidation. This pattern often resolves with another move of similar magnitude as the pole, implying potential to reach $120,000–$122,000 if momentum persists.
• No evident topping or reversal patterns present.
• Sentiment: All social and fund flow data (not in data, but deduced from price/volume) points bullish. However, high open interest and volume also means volatility and potential for sharp corrections if market turns risk-off.

Step 11: Cross-Market Analysis

• Altcoin Weakness/ BTC Dominance: When BTC surges alone, often it results in funds rotating out of alts, reinforcing the sustainability of the BTC move.

Step 12: Risk & Reward Considerations

• Upside Target: At least $120,000–$122,000 based on momentum, projected extension, and lack of historic resistance.
• Downside Risk: Immediate support at $116,000; failure there opens $114,000, then possibly $111,000 (rising 20-day MA).
• Stop-Loss Thought: Tight trailing stops recommended due to volatility.

Final Synthesis

• Bull Case: Massive trend, new all-time highs, strong volume, no exhaustion yet, aggressive buyers present.
• Bear Case: Short-term overbought signals (RSI), minor hourly resistance at $118,750, risk of profit-taking or news-driven reversal—but structure remains intact for now.

Given the evidence, a momentum breakout approach remains optimal. Wait for slight dip to strong support or enter on bullish continuation through $118,000.

Recommendation

• Buy (Long Position) on slight pullback toward support ($117,200–$117,500) or breakout above $118,100 for aggressive traders.
• Target: Take profit at $120,100 (round number & fib extension zone). This gives a measured, high-probability-output based on momentum continuation.
