Technical analysis by ScottMelker about Symbol BTC on 7/17/2025

Bitcoin is consolidating just below \$120,000 after Tuesday’s sharp pullback – which came on the highest daily volume since the \$74,000 bottom in March – mostly driven by selling. Despite the pressure, price held support cleanly at \$117,582 and continues to range tightly, suggesting healthy consolidation after a strong breakout above \$112,000. As long as \$117,582 holds, the structure remains bullish. A close above \$120,000 could ignite the next leg higher.
