Bitcoin apparent demand hits a four-month high
Bitcoin’s apparent demand has shifted to a positive outlook after rising to its highest level since July, as traders and investors adopt a risk-on approach due to improving macroeconomic conditions.
Capriole Investment’s Bitcoin Apparent Demand metric is a commodity metric that gauges demand, measuring production (mining issuance) minus inventory (supply inactive for over one year).
This demand had increased sharply to 5,251 BTC on Nov. 11, levels last seen on July 31.

Meanwhile, spot trading volume has increased by 23% to $14.1 billion from $11.5 billion over the last week, suggesting increased speculative activity.
The increase suggests that Bitcoin’s recent recovery to $106,000 was “an early sign of buyer re-engagement,” Glassnode wrote in its latest Weekly Market Impulse report, adding:
“The rise in spot volume suggests stronger investor participation and a potential for a breakout move.”

Optimism around the end of the US government shutdown and Trump’s promise of $2,000 tariff dividend payments , coupled with the Fed’s expected December rate cut and upcoming quantitative easing, are causing investors to scale back into risk assets .
Bitcoin price must reclaim $110,000
Bitcoin’s bullish weekly close above the 50-week simple moving average has convinced traders of its ability to move higher from current levels.
Bitcoin’s bullish case now hinges on bulls reclaiming $110,000 as support, according to Swissblock.
“After defending the critical zone, BTC’s next move is all about consolidation and confirmation,” the private wealth manager said in a Monday X post.
Swissblock said that since the price is still holding the macro structure, momentum will start igniting once bulls “reclaim $108K–$110K pivot zone,” adding:
“Selling pressure is easing, and $BTC is giving early signals of a bullish reversal.”

The government shutdown is nearly over, which would be an ideal signal for the markets to turn back into bull mode.
To be honest, if $BTC breaks through $110K, we'll likely see a rally towards the ATH.

Fellow analyst Jelle said reclaiming the $110,000 support level is “very important as rejecting here would be a clear sign of further weakness in the market.”
As Cointelegraph reported , Bitcoin’s double bottom pattern may boost bullish momentum toward $110,000, but the BTC/USD pair could first see a short-term retracement to fill the CME gap near $104,000.
