Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching a pivotal $112K resistance level, a threshold that could dictate its next major move. Traders are watching closely as BTC tests this critical barrier.
A successful breakout could ignite a rally toward $135K, while failure may lead to consolidation or minor pullbacks. Market momentum and institutional inflows will likely shape Bitcoin’s path in the coming weeks.
Technical Outlook: $112K Breakout Could Trigger New All-Time High
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe emphasized the importance of the $112K level, stating that a sustained break above this resistance could propel Bitcoin toward $135,000. “If Bitcoin maintains momentum above $112K, we are likely to see a surge toward a new all-time high,” he said. Conversely, failure to surpass this threshold may lead to short-term consolidation or a minor pullback, as the market digests previous gains.

Daily and weekly charts show that Bitcoin’s current range-bound action mirrors historical corrective phases, suggesting a measured approach for traders. Support around $100K–$110K appears robust, while $123K has been marked as a potential invalidation point, which could signal a renewed bullish trend if reclaimed.
Market Sentiment Remains Cautiously Bullish
Despite the recent pullback, overall sentiment across the crypto market remains optimistic. Analyst Stockmoney Lizards points out that while minor bearish divergences exist on MACD and RSI, “no major indicator is flagging red. The current dip is a prime buying opportunity for BTC between $100K–$110K.” Traders are weighing the risk of short-term volatility against the possibility of a strong Q4 rally.

Institutional activity, as well as interest in Bitcoin ETFs, remains supportive to the market. Analysts point out that potential flows from instruments like Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and BlackRock BTC ETF products can also be among the sources of purchasing pressure, which can drive the market into a breakout above $112K. Macro fundamentals, such as positive policy announcements, are also supporting the positively cautious sentiment.
Bitcoin Dominance is Increasing, Altcoins are Negative
The Bitcoin market dominance has risen after the October 10 correction, echoing preference for BTC over altcoins in the current setup. Analyst TedPillows expects Bitcoin dominance to reach 61%-62% before stabilizing. The trend has suppressed altcoins, as most of them have recorded losses in USD and BTC terms in the recent rally.

The heightened dominance of Bitcoin will see investors push funds into Bitcoin as a safe haven in which they can store their money in the short term. Altcoin investors will be waiting, as the possible breakout of Bitcoin could establish the general direction of the market for the next couple of weeks.
Possible Dip Before Rally Toward $135K
Bitcoin’s current price action suggests a potential corrective dip forming a higher low around $80K–$90K, providing traders with a possible entry point. Analysts say this range-bound structure reflects a natural consolidation following BTC’s recent volatility, including the peak near $147K and subsequent drop to around $100K. Support zones at $107K and $72K are being closely monitored, as they could guide BTC’s next move.

A decisive reclaim of $123,250 would invalidate this corrective scenario, but until that point, BTC appears poised for a potential surge toward $135K or higher. Community sentiment is mixed: some traders agree with the projected dip and rally pattern, while others view it as overly bearish or unlikely, highlighting the market’s unpredictable nature. Investors should watch key resistance and support levels for clues on BTC’s next major move.
Final Thoughts
The $112K level of resistance is under the spotlight this week with market participants. A successful breakdown would set the market up for a rally to $135K, but failure would lead to a consolidation period or a relatively small corrective fall. Levels on the downside to watch for are $100K–$110K, while the recapture of $123K would thwart corrective possibilities.

Investors also need to monitor institution inflows, especially Bitcoin ETF-related flows and whale actions, as they may significantly impact the market dynamics. A clean break above $112K would most likely trigger new buying interest and a bullish continuation.
