However, the market is still uncertain, especially as news of possible new tariffs between the U.S. and China is making investors cautious.
After the CME gap was filled, many expected Bitcoin to show some upward momentum. However, the timing coincided with fresh tension over trade between the U.S. and China.
The renewed tariff threats have made investors more careful, causing some to pull out of risky markets. This shift has affected cryptocurrencies too, with Bitcoin losing its earlier momentum.

It is worth noting that the general behavior in the market has turned cautious. Reports indicated that Binance’s Fear and Greed Index dropped from a neutral level of 42 to 39. This essentially shows that traders are becoming more fearful.
Despite this current bearish market, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest filed for new Bitcoin ETFs.
Market watchers also mentioned that the current weak buying pressure around the $113,000 mark shows investors are still unsure about the direction of the broader market. Even though Bitcoin has closed the CME gap, the move alone has not been enough to lift prices.
Market participants are keeping an eye on updates from the U.S. and China trade talks. If there is any progress or a possible deal, it could lift market confidence and give Bitcoin a small push upward.
For now, things are calm, and trading activity remains low. Meanwhile, on the market chart, the $113,500 level is still acting as strong resistance.
If Bitcoin breaks above that mark, it might see a short boost. As of writing, the top coin was changing hands for $111,623, up 0.92% in 24 hours.
