Bitcoin Hits $110,000 Amidst Gold's 5.5% Decline

Bitcoin's price reaches $110,000 while experiencing volatility in contrast to the significant drop in gold's value.

Key Highlights:

  • Bitcoin remains unstable as it reclaims the $110,000 mark.
  • Liquidity is tightening around the price, making the 21-week moving average crucial to re-establish.
  • Gold experiences a sharp decline of over 5.5% from its recent highs.

“It’s been some time since liquidations appeared this way, considering funding rates are negative,” trader Luca discussed on X. He remarked on the risk-off sentiment with traders betting on impending downturns, while potential price resistance looms at $116,000 and above.

Trader and analyst Rekt Capital identified the 21-week EMA as a crucial resistance level.

“Bitcoin must sustain above this historical support to set itself for reclaiming the 21-week EMA in upcoming moves.”

Volatility is evident not only in crypto markets.

Gold, which soared to all-time highs recently, now risks a bearish “double top” formation with a staggering 5.5% daily loss looming.

Trader Crypto Tony suggested a decline in gold could signal a rise in Bitcoin and other altcoins, given that risky assets may gain traction during uncertain market times.

“Once this pullback happens, anticipate a crypto rally.”
