Strong technical indicators and large investor accumulation signal continued Bitcoin growth, with the potential to reach $120,000.
Bitcoin gained over $114,000 following a weaker-than-anticipated U.S. Producer Prices Index (PPI) in the month of August. The PPI report identified the month-over-month decline at 0.1% and disproved the predictions of the monthly growth of 0.3%. This gave rise to a bullish breakout that corroborates an inverse head and shoulders pattern. The rise of Bitcoin reveals a reversal of the recent downturn of its historical peaks above 124,000.
The PPI is used to measure wholesale inflation. It has a decrease of 0.1% in August, which strongly contrasts the predicted rise of 0.3%. This is a drop after an increase of 0.9 percent in July. The PPI increased by a year-on-year basis by 2.6, compared to 3.1 last month. This was a huge surprise given the analysts predicted growth of 3.3%.

This implies that inflationary forces are subsiding, and that has been contributing to the active market confidence in risk assets such as BTC.
