Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: $130K or Bust? 🚀💰

by

Oh, what a scrumdiddlyumptious start to October for Bitcoin! It’s been climbing like a squirrel up a greasy pole, up nearly 9% week-on-week, and sitting pretty above $124,000. Even after a teeny-tiny cooldown from its recent all-time high, it’s still holding firm. And let me tell you, this isn’t just a bit of momentum-it’s a full-blown, on-chain extravaganza, with both long-term and short-term holders showing more conviction than a chocolate factory full of Oompa-Loompas.

One number sticks out like a sore thumb (or a golden ticket): $130,000. That’s the next big target, according to both the patterns and the data. Will it happen? Only the Great Glass Elevator knows for sure.

Exchange Net Flow Hits a Multi-Year Low-Holders Are Hoarding Like Squirrels 🌰

One of the most gobsmacking signs of confidence comes from Bitcoin’s exchange net flow. This measures the difference between coins entering and leaving centralized exchanges. A negative value? That means more BTC is being withdrawn than deposited-a clear sign that holders are storing their treasure, not selling it. They’re hoarding like Augustus Gloop in a chocolate river.

As of October 4, Bitcoin’s 14-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) for net flow is sitting at -7,210 BTC, its lowest level in nearly three years. The last time it dropped this low was in November 2022, just before Bitcoin went on a wild ride from $16,000 to over $72,000. Coincidence? I think not! 🧐

This backdrop makes the current reading even more tantalizing-it’s like the market is quietly whispering, “Accumulate, don’t distribute.” Shh, don’t tell anyone. 🤫

To confirm this, we peek at the HODL Waves, which show how long coins have stayed unmoved. Over the past month, both short-term and long-term holders have been adding to their stashes. The 1-3 month cohort grew from 8.75% to 9.59% of supply, while the 2-3 year holders ticked up from 7.00% to 7.13%. Small changes? Maybe. But in Bitcoin land, that’s tens of thousands of BTC-a meaningful shift, my dear friends.

Even though the 0.13% rise may look as minor as a speck of dust on a giant peach, it’s a clear signal of renewed conviction from long-term holders. They’re in it for the long haul, like a centipede with a hundred legs.

This dual participation is key-if only one side were accumulating, the rally would look as fragile as a glass elevator. But with both short-term and long-term holders showing conviction, it’s like building a fortress of confidence. 🏰

Pattern Breakout Targets $130,100-Volume Says “Full Steam Ahead!” 🚂

On the daily chart, Bitcoin recently confirmed an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout, closing firmly above the $122,100 neckline. The pattern projects an immediate upside target above $130,000 if momentum holds. It’s like a giant peach rolling downhill-nothing can stop it!

The Wyckoff Volume indicator adds a dash of context. This tool tracks whether buyers (blue bars) or sellers (orange bars) dominate trading sessions. During the last correction in September, a shift from blue to orange preceded a price dip from $117,900 to $108,400. But this time? Blue bars are still dominating, showing that buyer demand is as strong as a giant’s appetite.

If Bitcoin manages to stay above the $122,100 level, the move to $130,100 looks as likely as a chocolate bar melting in the sun. A breakout beyond that could open the door to fresh cycle highs later this quarter. But beware-a dip below $117,900 and $108,400 would temporarily invalidate this bullish setup, though on-chain metrics suggest the bias remains upward for now. 🌤️
