Since dropping to a September low of $107,270, Bitcoin has rallied nearly 9%, though momentum has slowed as the price approached the $118,000 zone.
#Bitcoin is still nicely consolidating.

The crucial resistance remains the same, this is the $117.5K area.

At the time of writing, the asset trades near $116,000.
Van de Poppe emphasized that heavy liquidity for long positions is concentrated around $118,000, calling it a decisive level for the next leg upward.
For now, market focus has shifted to the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting on September 17, where the central bank will announce its interest rate decision.
Another analyst, known as AlphaBTC, expects Bitcoin to retest $118,000 within the next 24 hours. However, he also warned of a likely pullback after the Fed’s update.

No change to my plan, I still think that 118K level gets taken out in the next 24-48hrs, then we see how much conviction or sell pressure comes in as the FOM Rate Decision is confirmed.
Can #Bitcoin hold 115K post the decision? Or will it sell off… https://t.co/7JleDfrKgR pic.twitter.com/x6d9EB9pTW
What could fuel further growth?
Spot Bitcoin ETFs and corporate treasuries are steadily adding BTC to their reserves, providing a supportive backdrop for price action. Over the last six trading days alone, these instruments brought in more than $2 billion.
“On September 10, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of roughly 5,900 BTC — the largest single-day addition since mid-July. Weekly flows have returned to positive territory, signaling renewed demand,” noted Glassnode analysts.

This pushed weekly net flows positive, reflecting renewed ETF demand as BTC consolidates above the $114k level.

Since the start of 2025, the combined Bitcoin holdings of public companies and ETFs have climbed 30%, from 2.24 million BTC to 2.88 million BTC.
Investor appetite for digital gold is further underscored by CoinShares data, showing that Bitcoin investment products attracted $2.4 billion in inflows just last week.
