    Bitcoin’s next move: Will a potential rate cut this week spark a surge?

    Bitcoin’s recovery back towards $92,000 has arrived at a pivotal moment, with traders weighing whether the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cut could ignite the market’s next decisive move.

    Bitcoin price prediction: Is this whipsaw week setting up the next breakout toward $120K?

    After a week of sharp reversals that punished both bulls and bears, analysts say Bitcoin’s rebound to $111,000 could be the early stage of a breakout toward $120,000 supported by a shift in whale positioning, easing macro conditions, and renewed risk appetite.
