With Bitcoin (BTC) retreating from its weekend record high of $125,000, the asset faces the threat of further losses as traders take profits.

The signal, marked by a “9” count, suggests profit-taking may be accelerating after Bitcoin’s sharp move past $125,000. Historically, similar patterns have signaled local tops followed by pullbacks, as traders lock in gains from overextended rallies.

If selling pressure intensifies, Bitcoin could test support levels near $120,000, a key psychological and technical zone that previously acted as a launchpad for the latest leg higher. 

A breakdown below this level could pave the way for a deeper retracement, especially as market momentum cools following the asset’s parabolic run.

The recent breakout attempt above this zone was largely driven by leveraged futures traders, indicating limited spot or institutional demand behind the move.

Pillows noted that if institutional investors return as they did last week, Bitcoin could reclaim resistance and aim for $127,000 and $130,000. However, if buying pressure fails to emerge, the market could see a retracement toward the $118,000 and $120,000 range.

Attention now turns to institutional flows through Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have played a major role in driving the asset’s recent all-time highs.

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

The post Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin traded at $116,236 as of 14:04 UTC on Sept. 17, up about 1% in the past 24 hours, holding above a key level as markets await the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. Analysts’ comments Dean Crypto Trades noted on X that bitcoin is only about 7% above its post-election local peak, while the S&P 500 has risen 9% and gold has surged 36% during the same period. He said bitcoin has compressed more than those assets, making it likely to lead the next larger move, though it could form a “lower high” before extending further. He added that ether could join in once it breaks $5,000 and enters price discovery. Lark Davis pointed to bitcoin’s history around September FOMC meetings, saying every September decision since 2020 — except during the 2022 bear market — has preceded a strong rally. He stressed that the pattern is less about the Fed’s rate choice itself and more about seasonal dynamics, arguing that bitcoin tends to thrive in this period heading into “Uptober.” CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model, bitcoin rose about 0.9% during the Sept. 16–17 analysis window, climbing from $115,461 to $116,520. BTC reached a session high of $117,317 at 07:00 UTC on Sept. 17 before consolidating. Following that peak, bitcoin tested the $116,400–$116,600 range multiple times, confirming it as a short-term support zone. In the final hour of the session, between 11:39 and 12:38 UTC, BTC attempted a breakout: prices moved narrowly between $116,351 and $116,376 before spiking to $116,551 at 12:34 on higher volume. This confirmed a consolidation-breakout pattern, though the gains were modest. Overall, bitcoin remains firm above $116,000, with support around $116,400 and resistance near $117,300.
