  • Bitcoin price is up 4% in 24 hours but still down 3.8% month-on-month.
  • Holder accumulation ratio and NUPL hint at rising confidence and reduced profit-taking.
  • A breakout above $114,928 could push BTC toward $117,615 and $121,440 in the short term.

Bitcoin (BTC) is up nearly 4% in the last 24 hours, trading around $111,346, extending the broader market’s recovery. Despite the rebound, the Bitcoin price remains down 3.8% over the past 30 days, showing that the bullish comeback is still in progress.

However, both on-chain metrics and technical signals suggest that Bitcoin might be gearing up for a stronger push if key resistance levels are cleared.

More Holders Are Buying Again as Market Confidence Slowly Returns

The Holder Accumulation Ratio (HAR), which measures how many active holders are increasing their positions versus reducing them, shows improving confidence.

Although the ratio trended down since September 13, reaching a low of 52.91% in early October, it has since rebounded to 55.53%, signaling renewed accumulation behavior.

When this ratio stays above 50%, it typically means long-term Bitcoin holders are buying more than selling – a bullish sign.

The Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL), which tracks whether the market is in profit or loss, also supports this view. After hitting a three-month low of 0.48 on October 17, it has begun to turn upward.

As NUPL is still under 0.50 and near the 3-month low, profit-taking doesn’t look like an immediate hurdle.

Historically, a similar dip on October 11 preceded a quick rally from $110,810 to $115,321 (a 4% rise) within two days. This setup suggests that Bitcoin could once again be entering an accumulation phase before a breakout.

Combined, these two on-chain signals show that investor confidence and profitability are recovering, even though sentiment remains cautious.

Bitcoin Price Chart Pattern Hints at a Breakout If $114,000+ Gives Way

On the daily chart, Bitcoin is trading within a falling wedge, a bullish reversal pattern that often precedes upward movement. The structure shows both trendlines converging downward, but with volume steadily declining, confirming the wedge’s validity.

This setup usually ends with a breakout above the upper trendline, supported by increasing volume and renewed buying pressure. At the time of writing, BTC trades near $111,346, having flipped $108,918, a key resistance, into support.

The next major level to watch is $112,242, which aligns with the upper boundary of the wedge. A daily close above $114,928 (zone that has capped previous recovery attempts) would confirm a breakout.

And it would likely open the path toward $117,615 and $121,440, which are 5.6% and 9% above current levels, respectively.

If BTC fails to hold $108,918, however, the short-term bullish bias would weaken, with potential downside targets at $103,545 – the lower boundary of the wedge.
