Bitcoin rebounded into the new week as bulls were challenged to squeeze out shorts and avoid filling the $102,000 candle wick on Binance.

The recovery came as Bitcoin achieved a weekly close above $108,000, with the technical setup on the charts targeting significant gains ahead.

Crypto market manipulation involves organized efforts to artificially move altcoin prices and mislead traders about their true value.

Long-term Bitcoin holders took profits at record levels with realized gains hitting $1.7 billion daily as older coins re-entered circulation.

Bitcoin price volatility returned into the weekly close with a key reclaim zone in sight, while liquidations exceeded $200 million in 24 hours.

Ether price eyes $4,500 as a classic chart pattern, and onchain MVRV data align to signal renewed upside momentum this month.

Technical analyst John Bollinger identified potential W bottom patterns in Ether and Solana charts, suggesting a major move could follow.

Bitcoin-to-gold ratio hits historic lows that previously preceded major bull runs, with past bottoms preceding 100–600% BTC price rallies.
