Bitcoin surged beyond $114,000 on Monday, continuing a rally that has defied its typical September downturn. This surge follows a brief testing of support around $107,000 earlier this month before rebounding robustly. The increase marks bitcoin’s strongest September performance since 2012, with an approximate monthly rise of 8%. Technical analysts indicate that BTC has exited a descending wedge formation on short-term charts — a promising structure that could signal a potential push toward $120,000 if confirmed. This advance is particularly remarkable given the historically low volatility setting. Historically, Bitcoin tends to underperform in September, only to rally in October, November,…

Summary Analysts observing Bitcoin price predictions note that BTC is currently trading in the low-to-mid $114k range following a rally at the end of September. Spot-ETF inflows have shown a mixed pattern: previous weekly withdrawals were substantial, but some US ETFs have experienced fresh daily inflows recently. Key short-term trading range identified: $108k-$116k; a breakout above this range may lead to prices between $118k-$120k (or potentially higher during an extended rally). A dip below $108k raises the chances of a decline to $105k or lower. Fundamental shifts in the market, including increased open interest in derivatives and the expansion of…
