Bitcoin (BTC) is regaining its strength following weeks of trending between its 100-day and 200-day moving averages. The asset is again coming in the upper half of this zone, indicating an early recovery. Bitcoin is gaining momentum, and traders are closely monitoring whether it will experience a potential breakout that could determine its short-term direction.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $113,449, up 1.73% in the last 24 hours. The trading volume has increased by 29.19% and is currently at $34.72 billion, implying that there is good involvement by the retail and institutional traders. BTC price has increased by 4.14% over the past week, which is a consistent growth that underscores the changing market attitude following a base stabilization phase.

Analyst Ted Pillows highlighted that Bitcoin has retaken its 4H EMA-200, which is a major indicator that typically reflects trend reversal. The resistance is at $114,000, which is close to the 4H SMA-200 line. Provided that BTC manages to hold above both moving averages, it may validate bullish control and pave the way to higher resistance zones.

Additionally, another analyst, Man of Bitcoin, mentioned that BTC is poised to reach higher levels. He described that as long as the price is below $114,026, the situation is that of consolidation. A powerful closing above this point might nullify the bearish formation and affirm the switch to the uptrend.

Bitcoin is at a crossroads. An established breakout beyond $114,000 may add to the purchasing-side attention and uphold the bullish pattern. Inability to maintain above this could mean that the market is again on track to consolidate as traders stay alert for a definite directional move.
