This comes after bulls recovered from recent lows, helped by a period of volatility punctuated by the market reaction to geopolitical tensions amid the Israel-Iran conflict. <\/p>\n<p>The macroeconomic environment also dictated action for risk assets.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin price historically sees an average of +6% in Q3<\/h2>\n<p>While Bitcoin may yet experience a sharp uptick amid other market factors, Bitfinex Alpha analysts say Q3 will likely see range bound trading beginning in July.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>A dearth of upside momentum, including in the exchange-traded funds market, could see BTC mirror the average of just 6% gain between July and end of September seen in this period since 2013. The less optimistic perspective is despite the market having flushed out excess leverage.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe recent compression in price action reflects a cooling in both on-chain and derivatives activity, with declining spot volumes, reduced taker buy pressure, and a drop in open interest, highlighting that the market is transitioning from an aggressive impulse to a ranging phase,\u201d the analysts noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In terms of Bitcoin\u2019s key levels, $100k remains a major support area. However, the short-term holder\u2019s realized price level at $98,700 offers a critical structural zone, where dip buyers will fancy opportunities for accumulation.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, BTC bulls may target a breakout above $110k. Yet, Q3 has historically been a period of low volatility and subdued directional movement. With an average of just +6%, price action will be more within a consolidation range.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFor new all-time highs to be reclaimed, a catalyst, either in the form of macro relief, strong ETF flow momentum, or a breakout in global liquidity will be necessary,\u201d the analysts wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin price hovers near $107,000 as the benchmark digital asset signals further consolidation following a largely positive run from lows of $84k seen in April.
