Bitcoin Price Nears Critical Levels: Bullish Momentum Could Push BTC to $180,000

Bitcoin approaches a critical point as it continues to trade near the lower end of a rising trend. Analysts believe the trend will continue upward, but a drop below the support level could trigger a reversal. The next few weeks will be critical in determining the market’s direction.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at the price of $96,981, while its 24-hour trading volume stands at $93.39 billion, with a market capitalization of $1.94 trillion. Over the last 24 hours, the price of BTC has increased by 3.73%.

Bitcoin Trend Indicates Bullish Path

Notably, crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO reported that Bitcoin is establishing a rising channel pattern. This is being reflected by the fact that the price is consolidating close to the lower edge of the channel, which indicates that the market is close to reaching a critical point.

However, there are two possible market outcomes in this case. These are the bull continuation market outcome and the bear breakdown market outcome. In the bull market outcome, a closing price above 105,000 USD, with a probability of 65-70%, will indicate market strength.

This may open the way to the $180,000-$210,000 level, and this trend will remain healthy and intact. But in the lower-probability bearish case, which has a 30-35% probability, a weekly closing below $83,000 may break the channel and open the way to further downward moves.

Bitcoin Holds Strong Wave IV

Meanwhile, another analyst, More Crypto Online, noted that the range for Bitcoin at $97,000-$98,400 corresponds to the target for wave IV. There is no need for any additional decline, as indicated by the analysis, unless the micro-support levels are breached, and there are no signs of that at the moment.

On the whole, BTC is still managing to hold on to a good trend, but it is the fact that the coming weekly closing levels are of prime importance in understanding whether this trend will continue or a correction will take place.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
