When managing trades, it’s important to focus on one trade per direction and adjust stops after reaching the second target. This analysis is meant to help with decision-making but does not guarantee results. Managing risk is key. With Bitcoin futures at $112,810, we maintain a bearish bias as long as the price stays below $113,485. This weakness follows last week’s U.S. inflation data, which was slightly higher than expected at 3.4% for August 2025, reducing hopes for immediate rate cuts. This macro pressure likely contributes to the clear selling trend in the crypto market. The broader market reflects this cautious sentiment, with Ethereum and Solana underperforming against Bitcoin in the last 24 hours. Historically, during consolidation phases like in early 2025, when altcoins lag, it often precedes a deeper test of Bitcoin’s support. On-chain data shows a 4% rise in Bitcoin inflows to exchanges in the last 72 hours, indicating some traders are preparing to sell. In the upcoming weeks, we should look for opportunities to short any price bumps toward the $113,400–$113,600 range. This area represents strong resistance. The first major support target is around $112,435, a level that previously served as a liquidity zone in early September 2025. If this level fails, we might see a test of the lower $111,000 range. While the primary bias is bearish, we need to stay alert for a market reversal if negative news is absorbed. A solid break above the $114,050 bullish threshold would change the current bearish outlook. This could lead to a short squeeze, especially since Deribit data indicates a buildup of short positions just below that level. No matter the direction, risk management is vital in this market. We should aim to take partial profits at the first target and move our stop loss to our entry point after hitting the second target. Given the recent economic data’s impact, volatility may increase, so careful position sizing is essential in the weeks ahead.
