Bitcoin price today: BTC struggles to stay above $108K as bulls face crucial level

After a brief touch of $110,000, Bitcoin pulled back, remaining in the sights of crucial support at $106,000. As the cryptocurrency entered a key demand zone, analysts warned of a potential correction, especially amid a shifting macro backdrop and a rally in gold.

“[Some] correction is likely after the rejection at $110K for Bitcoin. Pulling back, and we might see some lower lows in the upcoming period of time. As long as BTC stays above $106K, then there’s nothing to worry about. #Bitcoin is entering a nice demand zone (green) and we can expect some bids to come in at that level. Some interesting period of time, as we’re seeing a rally in gold and some U.S.-Iran tensions, which pushes people towards safe-haven assets. Let’s see if BTC can handle the $110K level and continue towards $120K later on.”

However, derivatives data signaled a potential "soft reversal point" for Bitcoin, according to Axel Adler Jr., a crypto analyst. He pointed to declining open interest and aggressive short volume, which could herald a shift in market pressure.

"In the current hour, there is a clear closing of long positions supported by aggressive short volume. This could indicate a potential soft reversal point for Bitcoin."

"Funding rates are still positive, but we can see a shift from net long to short positioning as the bulls’ conviction fades. This is typical in the latter stages of a rally."

On the other hand, traders noted that Bitcoin faced resistance at a key Fibonnacci level, which could spur further selling pressure in the short term.

"Bitcoin faced resistance at the 0.618 Fibonacci level today. Expect some selling pressure in the short term, but overall the trend remains bullish."
