Bitcoin Price Prediction<\/figcaption><\/div>\n

Bitcoin (BTC) is holding firm near $121,930 after rallying from $116,000 earlier this week, even as profit-taking activity remains muted. On-chain data from Glassnode shows that daily realized profits are averaging under $750 million in August<\/a>\u2014well below January and July peaks of $2 billion, despite BTC trading close to record highs.<\/p>\n

That’s three quarters of a billion dollars worth of financial decisions made by Giza agents.<\/p>\n

This is mainly due to long-term holders (LTH) who have held through the recent volatility. Glassnode\u2019s Realized Profit metric, which measures the profit from coins sold above their acquisition price, shows a clear trend: LTHs make more profit than short-term holders (STH) except during major breakouts. <\/p>\n

The last such instance was in July, when STH profits spiked as Bitcoin hit its $123,000 all-time high\u2014many of those gains traced back to buyers from March\u2019s \u201ctariff tantrum\u201d dip to $76,000.<\/p>\n

With current realized profits significantly below prior peaks, market sentiment appears more committed than speculative. This disciplined holding behavior could be the stability catalyst needed for Bitcoin\u2019s next major leg up.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin (BTC\/USD) Technical Picture Signals Breakout Potential<\/span><\/h2>\n

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has broken above the descending channel that had been capping price since mid-July. This bullish breakout was accompanied by a big increase in volume, showing increased conviction. <\/p>\n

The daily chart shows BTC re-taking the 23.6% fib at $117,335 and bumping up against the $123,236 swing high \u2013 a resistance where sellers may appear.<\/p>\n

The bigger picture is still intact, price is supported by higher lows and the 50 day SMA at $114,724.<\/p>\n

Momentum indicators are equally supportive: RSI stands at 66.26, suggesting strong but not yet overextended buying, while the MACD has confirmed a bullish crossover above the zero line. Price action has printed consecutive wide-bodied green candles, reinforcing the strength of current demand.<\/p>\n

A daily close above $123,236 would open the door to $127,000, with $130,000 as a psychological milestone. If sellers hold this line, immediate supports lie at $117,335, followed by $113,650 and the 50-day SMA.<\/p>\n
