Bitcoin is experiencing its first real test since the steep rise that began at its $75,000 lows. A BTC short-covering rally would be possible should the support between $110-112,000 succeed. 

The rally could revert the prices to the levels of $118,000 to $120,000. Nonetheless, traders are conservative. The problem of the market at large is not over, and it is unclear that BTC will be subjected to its success.

Rising Selling Pressure in BTC Markets

On-series breaches indicate growing bearishness. According to Santiment, the volume of BTC trading in the past 24 hours had increased by an astonishing 90% to reach $45 billion. Higher volume with falling prices means there is an accelerating selling pressure off. Most of the traders are opting out in fear of further losses. This increasing aversion to owning Bitcoin may precondition protracted auctions.

During the last days of Q3, the substance of volatility are expected to increase. The speech by Powell must reassure Bitcoin bulls. Bitcoin may protect its support in case Powell supports risk assets. Conversely, should Powell front a hawkish voice; another liquidation may come into play. His statements are expected in the market.
