Bitcoin continues to hold strong above $105,000, while traders anticipate a possible surge towards $130,000 in the coming quarter.
High Volatility Zones Could Decide BTC’s Next Move
The latest liquidation heatmap shows concentrated liquidity above $108,800 and below $107,100. These zones act as pressure points where traders expect sharp liquidations if price momentum breaks in either direction.
A decisive close above $108,800 could unleash a liquidation cascade on short positions, driving Bitcoin into fresh price discovery and fueling a possible push toward $110,000 and beyond. On the other hand, if BTC drops below $107,100, it may trigger liquidations of long positions, adding extra downside pressure.
Aguila Trades Bets on Short Setup
In a sign of the high-stakes leverage battle playing out, Aguila Trades re-entered the market with a 20x leveraged short position, according to Onchain Lens. This move followed BTC’s slip under $108,000, which Aguila is counting on to extend lower if bearish momentum holds.
However, should Bitcoin break above $108,800, Aguila’s short position could face rapid liquidation, flipping pressure back onto bears. If BTC fails to hold that level and slides under $107,100, the setup could pay off for Aguila, reinforcing the short bias and deepening any correction.
Could Bitcoin Reach $130,000 Next?
Market watchers say the next big signal will come from Bitcoin’s weekly close. A strong close above $110,000 could act as a springboard toward the Fibonacci extension target at $135,500.
This echoes BTC’s breakout in Q4 2024, when a sustained move above $75,000 triggered a powerful rally. If this staircase pattern repeats, a confirmed close above $107,720 could clear the path first to $110,000, then to the much-anticipated $130,000 mark.
For now, leveraged liquidity pockets and heavy speculation are setting the stage for Bitcoin’s next big move. Traders should closely track these critical zones as BTC’s Q3 direction hangs in the balance.
