Bitcoin (BTC) continues to recover and reclaims $109,000 on Tuesday, following its nearly 4% correction on Friday. The highly anticipated Bitcoin 2025 Conference starts on Tuesday in Las Vegas, drawing heightened attention from traders and investors. QCP Capital reports that the rise in near-term implied volatility suggests that market participants are positioning themselves around potential headline risks tied to the event, which could lead to volatility spikes and liquidations in the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Trader lock-in for the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas
The Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Tuesday to Thursday, is a key event to watch. This three-day conference marks the sixth annual Bitcoin conference since 2019, highlighting the growth, innovation, and adoption of Bitcoin.
The highly anticipated Bitcoin 2025 Conference brings together some of the most powerful voices in crypto, finance, and politics.

Some of the speakers’ names are shown below:

JD Vance– Vice President of the United States
Michael Saylor – Executive Chairman, MicroStrategy
Donald Trump Jr. – Businessman
Eric Trump – Co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer
Senator Cynthia Lummis – U.S. Senate
Hester Peirce – Commissioner, U.S. SEC
Ross Ulbricht – Digital Freedom Advocate
Nigel Farage – UK Member of Parliament
QCP’s Capital reports that sustained elevation in near-term volatility suggests that traders are positioning around headline risk ahead of this event.

The report further explains that July’s Nashville Bitcoin Conference 2024 saw a sharp spike in 1-day implied volatility above 90 as current US President Donald Trump delivered a speech during this event. This volatility spike was followed by a swift reversal, resulting in a nearly 30% decline in BTC within two days.

“The probability of a similar drawdown appears low; positioning suggests a defensive tilt (.....).”

"BTC is likely to remain range-bound in the near term; once the event passes and key speeches conclude, front-end vols are expected to compress as risk premia fade,” says QCP’s analyst.
Short-term BTC holders’ book profits
According to the graph below, over the past 30 days, BTC’s short-term holders have realized a cumulative $11.4 billion in profit, a staggering contrast to the $1.2 billion realized in the previous 30-day period. This rise in profit booking also indicates that some degree of consolidation is likely as the market digests this wave of distribution before attempting another leg higher.
Despite short-term selling pressure, the institutional demand continues to strengthen. On Monday, Strategy added 4,020 BTC for $427.1 million, bringing the total BTC holdings to 580,250 BTC.
Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC recovers above $109,000
Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $111,980 on Thursday and declined by 3.92% on Friday. However, it found support around the $106,406 daily level on Saturday and recovered in the last two days. At the time of writing on Tuesday, it continues to recover, trading at around $109,600.

If BTC continues to recover and closes above its all-time high, it could extend the rally toward the key psychological level of $120,000.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 67, pointing upward toward its overbought level of 70, indicating bulls are still in control of the momentum. Traders should be cautious as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a bearish crossover, giving a sell signal and suggesting a downward trend ahead.
If BTC faces a pullback and closes below its daily support at $106,406, it could extend the correction to retest its next key support level at $100,000.
