Bitcoin could rally to $124,000 as several on-chain indicators improve and selling pressure subsides, according to an analysis by Cointelegraph. The report notes that the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) has fallen to levels last seen during the market bottoms of mid-2021 and early 2024. This suggests stablecoin liquidity is accumulating, which could be a preparatory step for the final bullish phase of the current cycle. Additionally, on Binance, stablecoin reserves are increasing while BTC reserves are declining, a trend interpreted as a sign that BTC is moving from short-term to long-term holders or that selling pressure is becoming exhausted. From a technical perspective, the BTC/USD daily chart is facing resistance at $107,000, the upper trendline of a falling wedge pattern. The analysis suggests that if the price secures a daily close above this level, the downtrend could halt, paving the way for a potential rise to $124,000.

Bitcoin is poised for a period of heightened volatility and uncertainty after a key options volatility index broke its recent downtrend, CoinDesk reports. The outlet noted that Volmex's 30-day BTC Implied Volatility Index (BVIV) has breached its downward trendline, signaling a greater likelihood of market instability in the short term. Jimmy Yang, co-founder of institutional crypto options liquidity provider Orbit Markets, explained the underlying dynamics. He said that early holders, miners, and large-scale investors had been suppressing volatility this year by consistently selling call options. However, as spot prices have continued to fall, these positions have been reduced, removing a key dampening factor. Yang added that this trend, combined with rising demand for downside put options, weakening liquidity, and macroeconomic uncertainty, makes increased short-term volatility for BTC highly probable.
