Behind this balance is a fierce game between bullish innovation high global liquidity and institutional acceleration adoption factors, as well as bearish short-term technical indicators overbought and profit taking pressure. The market is showing a hesitant state, as yesterday's bullish candlestick chart failed to reach a new high, indicating a lack of firm belief among bulls. Bitcoin failed to establish stable support above $116000, and closing below this threshold increases the risk of falling back to $114000. From a chart analysis perspective, a horizontal consolidation pattern may form in the coming days.

Analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that Bitcoin needs to clear resistance around $118000 to restore its bullish outlook. Without this breakthrough, the price of Bitcoin may face more consolidation or further decline.
