Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC Reaches $112K—Bearish Trap or Buying Opportunity?

Bitcoin is currently priced at $112,737, reflecting a decrease of 2.34% over the past 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $2.24 trillion and a daily trading volume exceeding $70 billion. Despite this decline, the narrative surrounding institutional adoption remains robust.

Ethereum briefly gained attention after BitMine Immersion, under the leadership of Tom Lee, acquired $1.1 billion in ETH, establishing itself as the largest public holder of Ethereum. This acquisition resulted in a 10% drop in BitMine’s shares as market participants processed both the purchase and a new equity raise.

In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a decline of approximately 2.5% as capital shifted towards ETH. Nevertheless, BTC managed to remain above the $112,000 mark, a threshold that traders consider indicative of resilience.

Metaplanet Expanded Bitcoin Treasury With 5,419 BTC

Conversely, Japan’s Metaplanet has also increased its Bitcoin treasury by acquiring 5,419 BTC valued at $633 million. This brings its total holdings to 25,555 BTC, worth nearly $3 billion, making it the fifth-largest corporate holder globally, despite facing short-term selling pressure on its stock.

Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s Strategy added 850 BTC for $100 million following the Fed’s rate cut, raising its total holdings to 639,835 BTC valued at $47.3 billion.

• Metaplanet becomes 5th-largest Bitcoin holder
• Strategy tops 639K BTC after Fed rate cut

Fed Cuts and Corporate Demand

The US Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate cut has once again rekindled liquidity expectations, encouraging institutional balance sheets to increase their crypto allocations. Although smaller in scale compared to previous purchases, Strategy’s $100 million acquisition highlights ongoing conviction.

Saylor contends that Bitcoin’s diminished volatility, rather than being a drawback, indicates maturity and institutional confidence.

Metaplanet’s swift accumulation also mirrors a broader trend among Asian corporations seeking BTC as a safeguard against currency risks. Despite short-term stock declines, the firm’s Bitcoin (BTC) yield has already reached 10.3% in less than three months, bolstering market confidence in crypto treasuries.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Technical Outlook

From a technical perspective, the BTC/USD price chart indicates a head-and-shoulders reversal following the breach of the $115,000 support level and a subsequent decline from its rising channel. The price is currently testing the 200-EMA at $113,450, a crucial pivot point. A failure to recover this level could lead BTC towards $110,850, with further support at $108,750 and $107,250.

Momentum indicators suggest a bearish trend. The RSI at 31 indicates oversold conditions, but without bullish confirmation—such as a hammer or engulfing candle—buyers remain hesitant. A clear rebound above $114,750–$116,150 would alter sentiment, paving the way back to $118,000.

Currently, aggressive traders may consider shorting below $115,000, while more patient investors might wait for confirmation near $110,800. The longer-term structure of higher lows since summer remains intact, indicating that the current dip could represent an accumulation zone.

With corporate buyers actively participating and regulatory clarity improving, Bitcoin may recover lost ground and position itself for a renewed rally towards $120,000 and beyond as 2026 approaches.
