Recent rejections at the upper boundary of the range have confirmed that the market is yet to find directional momentum. The broader structure suggests that Bitcoin is likely to remain in this equilibrium zone for the near term as the price oscillates between well-defined support and resistance levels.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BTC price key technical points<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Major Range: <\/strong>Bitcoin continues to trade within a wide range between $98,000 support and $127,400 resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recent Rejection: <\/strong>Price was rejected from the range high, leading to a retest of the value area low.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Market Outlook:<\/strong> Consolidation remains the dominant structure until a decisive breakout occurs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">BTCUSDT (1D) Chart, Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">TradingVIew<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s current price structure highlights a prolonged phase of sideways movement following a rejection at the $127,400 range high, where heavy supply and profit-taking activity emerged. The rejection triggered a pullback first toward the range midpoint and now toward the value area low, where the price is attempting to stabilize near $98,000.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>If this level holds, it would maintain the established trading range and likely prompt a rebound toward the $127,000 resistance once momentum returns. However, failure to defend this zone could extend the corrective move further, exposing deeper support levels. For now, the price action indicates stability within the broader consolidation environment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bitcoin will likely stay between $120,000-$125,000 by year-end, says Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZK7LzFJl7GM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Interestingly, this technical outlook aligns with recent comments from Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz, who expects Bitcoin to remain range-bound between $120,000 and $125,000 toward the end of the year. His projection coincides with the current structural range and reinforces the likelihood of BTC continuing to oscillate within these levels as the market matures toward year-end.<\/p>\n<p>Such consolidation periods are typically viewed as healthy within broader bullish cycles, allowing liquidity and open interest to reset before the next major trend expansion.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to expect in the coming price action<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If Bitcoin successfully holds above the $98,000 range low, it will likely continue trading within its established range, with potential rotations toward the upper boundary near $127,000.
