Following the steep corrections seen in late July, the Bitcoin market made a 
modest recovery in the past week, rising by 2.73% according to data from 
CoinMarketCap. However, another rejection amidst this price resurgence forces 
the premier cryptocurrency to now trade within the $116,000 price region. 
While the crypto market awaits the token’s next move, cumulative trading 
activity signals potential for a major price surge to a new all-time high.

Signals Price Correction Golden Ratio In Sight: Bitcoin Targets $131K After 
Volume Shelf Hold In an X post on August 8, popular financial market analyst 
Donald Dean shares an interesting bullish price prediction on the Bitcoin 
market. Based on the existence of a volume shelf on the BTCUSDT daily chart, 
Dean tips the crypto market leader to soon attain a $131,000 market valuation. 
By way of explanation, a volume shelf refers to a price level where a 
significant amount of trading activity/volume has occurred. In the chart 
above, this level of trading is indicated by the horizontal bars on the right 
side of the chart. A volume shelf tends to act as a strong resistance or 
support zone because many traders are assumed to have bought or sold at this 
level. According to Donald Dean’s analysis, Bitcoin is currently hovering 
around a volume shelf between $116,000 &#8211; $118,000, which has been identified 
as a potential launch area. If Bitcoin can consolidate decisively above this 
range, it suggests that this level has enough buying interest to potentially 
act as a springboard for the next leg up. Interestingly, Dean predicts that 
this accumulation phase would provide the momentum needed to propel BTC toward 
the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level, a key technical milestone known as the 
“golden ratio.” This level, positioned around $131,000, represents the next 
major price target for the Bitcoin market, signaling a potential 12.93% gain 
on the present market prices. Related Reading: SharpLink Bets Big On Ethereum:

potential dip to $112,688 over the next three months. Featured image from
