Trader Notes: Walter Bloomberg said Bitcoin is hovering near $117,800, with analysts assigning a 70% chance of new highs in the next two weeks.

He noted ETF inflows of $2.8 billion since Sep. 9, with bullish futures supporting the outlook, while liquidity near $114,000 could trigger pullbacks. A close above $117,500 would confirm a breakout and reduce downside risk.

CW pointed out that Bitcoin's last major sell wall stands at $119,000–$121,000.
