Distribution on Binance was highlighted by traders as a key factor that worsened losses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin<\/a> lost nearly 5% on the day, and some large accounts were linked to the wave of sales that triggered stop orders and quick exits.<\/p>\n<p>Popular trader Daan Crypto Trades pointed to a \u201ckey reversal zone\u201d around recent ranges and consolidation levels.<\/p>\n<p>Some experts had similar price levels on his radar, noting that Bitcoin failed to turn $112,000 into support. Other voices in the market flagged $114,000 as an important weekly close threshold for bulls.<\/p>\n<h2>Bullish RSI Divergence Keeps A Sliver Of Hope<\/h2>\n<p>Technical watchers found one bright spot. According to crypto commentator Javon Marks, the four-hour chart still shows a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JavonTM1\/status\/1961435394546778396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bullish RSI divergence<\/a> \u2014 a pattern where the RSI makes higher lows while price makes lower lows. That setup can hint at an early reversal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BTC<\/a> Good area to keep watching.

He suggested a move back toward $123,000 is possible, which would be roughly a +14% jump from current levels. That projection is optimistic, and it rests on momentum flipping quickly in favor of buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Macro Data, Seasonal Weakness Add Headwinds<\/p>\n<p>Seasonality and macroeconomic data added pressure. September has historically been one of Bitcoin\u2019s weaker months, and investors were watching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pce-report-today-inflation-july-federal-reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US inflation<\/a> readings closely.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Reserve\u2019s preferred inflation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morganstanley.com\/insights\/articles\/fed-rate-cut-september-2025-forecast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure<\/a>, the Personal Consumption Expenditures index, matched expectations and showed signs of an inflation rebound.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the CME Group\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\/markets\/interest-rates\/cme-fedwatch-tool.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FedWatch Tool<\/a> showed markets pricing in rate cuts in September, a factor that could help risk assets like crypto if it holds.<\/p>\n<p>Range Bound For Now, Traders Watch $112,000\u2013$114,000<\/p>\n<p>Reports have disclosed that traders are focused on a narrow set of price markers. If Bitcoin can reclaim $112,000 and hold a weekly close above $114,000, bulls would gain breathing room.<\/p>\n<p>If those levels fail, more downside is possible and short-term traders could face further liquidations.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the market looks tight. Some technical signals point to a rebound, but macro data and big sellers are keeping the mood cautious.<\/p>\n<p>Traders and investors alike are watching both price action and economic prints closely as the US heads toward key data and the Fed decision window on Sept. 17.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin fell to its lowest levels since July 8 after Wall Street opened on Friday, with prices sliding and traders scrambling to reassess short-term plans.
