Bitcoin surged to $110,000 just two days ago, coming within striking distance of its $112,000 all-time high. However, heightened geopolitical tensions—especially following the Israel-Iran conflict—have sent markets into a state of risk-off volatility. BTC has since retraced to $104,000, a 7% drop from its local high, but the price action remains notably resilient. Bitcoin continues to trade above critical support levels, and the broader trend suggests that bulls may still have momentum on their side.
The $112,000 zone remains the key level to flip, as a decisive breakout there would push BTC into price discovery and signal the start of a new explosive phase for the entire crypto market. For now, the market waits for confirmation, as Bitcoin consolidates below resistance in a high-stakes environment.
Despite the volatility, strong on-chain fundamentals are keeping investor sentiment intact. According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, long-term holders have added 881,578 BTC to their wallets over the past 30 days—a massive wave of accumulation. This cohort is typically composed of more experienced investors, signaling confidence in Bitcoin’s medium-to-long-term trajectory.
While global uncertainty continues to dominate headlines, Bitcoin’s ability to hold the $104K level, combined with this aggressive long-term accumulation, suggests that any pullback may be short-lived. If bulls regain momentum and reclaim $110K, the next stop could be uncharted territory beyond the all-time high. The next few days will likely define the tempo for the rest of the quarter.
The 4-hour Bitcoin chart reveals a sharp rejection from the $110K zone earlier this week, followed by a swift decline to $104K. The price is currently holding just above a critical support level around $103,600—a zone that previously served as a launchpad in early June. The $109,300 resistance remains the key level to break for continuation toward all-time highs, but until then, the trend remains vulnerable to downside volatility.
Price action shows increased volume on the recent sell-off, signaling heightened investor reaction to the geopolitical tensions triggered by the Israel-Iran conflict. However, the bounce off the $103,600 level suggests that bulls are defending this area, and it continues to serve as a key structural support.
The 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs are now converging between $106,000 and $106,500, adding confluence as a short-term resistance cluster. A clean break above that region could open the door for a retest of $109,300. If BTC fails to hold the $103,600 level, however, the market could revisit the $100K psychological mark.
