TL;DR<\/p>\n
Bitcoin trades sideways between $116.8K and $119.5K, with liquidity swept on both ends.<\/span> Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at $118,300 at press time, down 0.2% over the week. For several weeks now, the asset has been moving in a tight zone without direction. Traders are showing caution ahead of today\u2019s FOMC interest rate decision.<\/span><\/p>\n Crypto analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe described the current pattern as \u201cextremely boring,\u201d pointing to the lack of decision or momentum. <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span><\/a> has been holding between $116,800 and $119,500, with no clear move up or down.<\/span><\/p>\n His chart shows that liquidity above and below this range has already been cleared. That often happens before a strong price move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He added that a break above $119,500 could open the way for a test of previous highs. If the price drops instead, the $110,000 to $112,000 range may become a key area to watch for buying.<\/span><\/p>\n Extremely boring range for the past few weeks on #Bitcoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still no breakout, still no decision.<\/p>\n The longer we stay in the range, the heavier the breakout will be. pic.twitter.com\/WLIJaxFNHu<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) July 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Axel Adler Jr, an analyst at CryptoQuant, shared an update on Bitcoin\u2019s broader market trend using a tool called the Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase. It currently stands at 44%.<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, this number reflects several market signals, including selling activity from long-term holders, ETF inflows, and overall demand. A higher number means the market is heating up. A lower one suggests a quiet phase, often seen before prices rise.<\/span><\/p>\n Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase provides a single scalar value that reflects the current temperature of the Bitcoin market:<\/p>\n High values (closer to 50%) mean that most components (overvaluation assessment, profit-taking activity, LTH selling pressure, and ETF inflows) are at upper\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/TtBW0CiVjp<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Axel Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr) July 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n At 44%, Adler explained that the market is in between.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere is currently no pronounced dominance of either bulls or bears,\u201d the analyst said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While some profit-taking is beginning, it\u2019s still at a controlled pace.<\/span><\/p>\n Another CryptoQuant analyst, known as Crypto Dan, <\/span>noted<\/span><\/a> a small cooling period after a brief wave of short-term activity.
