BTC price prediction: Can Bitcoin Break Above $130,000 as Market Faces Key Resistance?

7/10/2025, 10:39:13 AM
Ledn's investment director pointed out that this rise may be a retest of the May high, with some listed companies such as Trump Media and GameStop announcing that they will incorporate Bitcoin into their asset reserves, further strengthening market momentum.

Bitcoin hits a historic high of 112,000 USD

As traditional financial institutions further embrace Bitcoin (BTC), investor risk appetite has warmed, and institutional capital inflows have driven BTC to rise to approximately $112,000 in the past 24 hours, setting a new historical high.

Ledn’s Chief Investment Officer John Glover stated that this increase may be a retest of the high on May 22, when the market experienced significant selling pressure. As some investors chose to take profits, several publicly listed companies (such as Trump Media and GameStop) announced plans to allocate Bitcoin as part of their asset reserves, injecting new direction into corporate financial strategies.

Institutional buying and macro policies

Glover emphasized that as more publicly traded companies incorporate Bitcoin into their financial statements, the reserve race among enterprises may further strengthen market momentum. However, whether this surge has lasting power still depends on the developments in the macroeconomic and trade situation.

Maple CEO Sid Powell issued a warning that if there is any setback in the U.S. trade negotiations before August 1, it could become a resistance for Bitcoin’s market; conversely, if the negotiations make progress and inflation continues to slow down, the Federal Reserve is expected to initiate interest rate cuts, which could provide additional upward space for Bitcoin.

BTC Technical Analysis

Market analyst Doctor Profit recently pointed out on social media that he believes BTC is expected to challenge the range of 120,000 to 130,000 dollars, and proposed two possible paths:

  • Backtest trend: BTC first broke through the $113,000 resistance zone, then fell back to the liquidity support zone around $92,000 / $93,000 and the CME gap, before launching the main upward trend again.
  • Strong Breakout Type: The price directly breaks through key resistance without needing to retrace to the lower support, quickly advancing above 120,000 USD.

Before the deadline, BTC has temporarily retraced to about $111,200, and is working to turn this price level into a new support, paving the way for the upcoming advance.

Summary

The current market atmosphere is optimistic, but it also hides volatility risks. The $112,000 - $114,000 range has become the core battleground for determining the market direction. If BTC can successfully stabilize in this range and break upwards, it is expected to start a new round of rally, challenging the historical high of $130,000. Investors must closely monitor market news, macro policies, and on-chain data changes to grasp the rhythm and gain an advantage in this potential major market movement.
