\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBitcoin trades near $112K as analysts watch the 50 EMA, fading momentum, and a CME gap for Q4 direction.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Bitcoin is trading near $112,100 as analysts focus on the role of its long-term moving average, cooling momentum, and a newly opened CME gap.<\/p>\n
Traders see key support and resistance levels that may decide the market\u2019s direction in the final quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n
50 EMA as the \u201cGolden Line\u201d<\/h2>\n
Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader called the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) Bitcoin\u2019s \u201ccheat code.\u201d His chart shows repeated retests of this level in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Each one triggered what he described as a \u201cBullish Retest,\u201d with price then climbing to new highs.<\/p>\n
BTC is now approaching the 50 EMA again. The average sits just under $100,000. Merlijn said<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cAll bounces are vertical rallies. Every break is capitulation. Q4 survival or destruction depends on this line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Traders are watching to see if price will hold above the level or break below it.<\/p>\n Data from CryptoQuant shows the 30-day momentum index has turned neutral-to-bearish. Analyst CryptoBusy said<\/a> this shows fading buying strength and more downside risk.<\/p>\n Bitcoin recently fell from $115,400 to $108,600. The $108,600 level now serves as support, while resistance is seen between $111,000 and $112,000.<\/p>\n Bitcoin CME futures opened with a gap between $110,500 and $111,300. Price later rallied to around $112,930, leaving the gap unfilled.<\/p>\n Analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted<\/a> that CME gaps often close quickly but added: \u201cIt has been quite a while since we did open with a gap like this.\u201d<\/em> He said he does not see the gap in play \u201cuntil BTC starts trading below $111K.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n A drop under $111,000 could lead traders to target the gap for closure. If support holds, the gap may remain open for longer, as has occurred in past cases.<\/p>\n Bitcoin is trading inside a tight range. Analysts point to the 50 EMA as the critical level for Q4. Whether price bounces from this line or breaks below it may decide the next major move.<\/p>\n LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
