Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is trading around $114,000 this Thursday morning. Market watchers suggest further price increases could be on the horizon, dependent on upcoming inflation figures due later today.

What Happened: Crypto analyst Daan Crypto pointed out that Bitcoin experienced a surge past a significant area of trading activity near $114,000 on Wednesday, following the release of new data regarding US Producer Prices.

This upward movement cleared out a cluster of buy and sell orders, triggering the liquidation of short positions and briefly pushing the price higher. It then stabilized just below the mentioned level.

Current charts reveal that the most active buying and selling zones remain concentrated between $111,000 and $114,000, with traders viewing this range as a crucial near-term battleground.

This push higher comes after consistent gains originating from the $110,000 support level, where the market had been steadily gathering strength over the past few days.

This situation unfolds just before the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) this Thursday, an event anticipated to bring increased market volatility.

Experts suggest that a clear and sustained price hold above $114,000 could signal a continuation of the upward trend. Conversely, a rejection at that level may send Bitcoin back down towards the $111,000 area.

TheKingfisher, an expert on liquidation levels on platform X, highlighted that current liquidity maps indicate a concentration of orders slightly above the current price, potentially acting as a magnet for further price movements.

Bitcoin is once again struggling around the $113,000 mark, a price that has resisted upward movement for several weeks. Analysts believe this resistance is weakening with each attempt to break through, and a daily close above this level could pave the way towards $116,000.

On-chain data sourced from Glassnode indicates the cryptocurrency is presently just below the MVRV +0.5σ band, near the $115,000 price point.

Past market cycles have shown that this situation can sometimes lead to a turning point, with prolonged periods of sideways trading often followed by an upward trend after the resistance is finally broken.
