Sawcruhteez suggested a parallel range between $8100 and $8800 as the primary range for the next few days. Moreover, the volume profile of Bitcoin suggests that the current price needs to move above $9100 or back to $8200 range for larger volume.

Market Sentiments

While the resistance continues to hold, the overall market is very bullish. In a CNBC update this morning, Brian Kelly, a financial reporter notes that.

“I think there is a huge upside for Bitcoin [BTC] may be not tomorrow.”

The recent bearish price moves in Bitcoin were on the back of increasing unique addresses in Bitcoin. Hence, it was a bull signal. Nevertheless, he thinks that with the 22% rise since the beginning of this year, Bitcoin might have gotten ahead of its bullish cues.

Crypto-trader, Josh Rager, re-tweeted CNBC’s updating citing it as a shorting signal. He says,

The RSI (Relative Strength Index) on the daily is near oversold levels at 70. However, during bull markets, the index reaches as far as 90 to be considered over-bought.

The fear and greed index are back to the levels attained around the Xi pump. However, the previous rise was from 20 to 54, while this has been on the back of accumulation around 40.
