📉💰 $BTC Price Live Today—Don’t Panic: Correction Could Be Setup for Next Leg Up 🚀

🪙 Bitcoin Pulls Back After ATH
BTC hit $122,000+ ATH before slipping over 5%, now hovering near $116,800. Profit-taking kicked in as bulls paused after a record-high weekly close.

📊 What Caused the Dip?

Traders took profits at ATH—typical after big rallies.

Long-to-short ratio flipped negative, showing shorts gaining ground.

Fear & Greed Index near 70 signals greed, hinting at short-term pullback potential.

✅ Why It’s a Healthy Correction

Cools overheated signals for long-term strength.

On-chain SOPR data shows limited profit-taking—no capitulation.

Institutional buying and US regulatory progress (GENIUS, CLARITY Acts) maintain long-term confidence.

Macro backdrop remains bullish with expected rate cuts.

📌 Key Levels to Watch

Local support: $116,594–$116,892.

Possible rebound target: $118,500.

Risk level: drop to $115,260 if selling continues.
