‍Bitcoin Eyes $112K Amid Shutdown Hopes, But Caution Lingers Bitcoin (BTC) briefly surpassed $106,000, driven by optimism around a potential US government shutdown resolution. However, traders remain cautious about sustained momentum beyond the $112,000 resistance level without further economic catalysts. Derivative markets show subdued investor conviction.

Broader economic concerns, including AI sector valuations and weak corporate earnings, are impacting risk appetite. While a shutdown resolution could trigger a short squeeze, a sustained rally likely requires improved economic conditions to restore investor confidence.
