Highlights

  • BTC's bullish commentary on social media is now the highest since March 2023 (16 months).
  • Bitcoin RSI and volume-price divergence signal a potential correction in the near future.
  • Bitcoin is only 6.71% away from its previous all-time high price.

Since last weekend, Bitcoin price has been grappling with the $70,000 resistance level, unable to break through despite the positive momentum generated from a successful three-day conference in Nashville. At this event, U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump gave a bullish speech on the future of the cryptocurrency market under his possible administration, yet the persistent supply pressure has kept a lid on further price gains.

The price of BTC dipped by 2% over the last 24 hours to trade at $69,875. The uptick in price impacted the general market, sparking notable double-digit percentage gains in Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV), and Book of Meme (BOME).

Bitcoin price forecast shows a break above the recent high, and a key resistance level of $73,700 may establish a new all-time high (ATH) price for the asset and launch it into the price discovery zone. On the flip side, if market conditions turn bearish, BTC price may find support near the 50-day EMA ($64,315) and also around the previous consolidation and the 200-day EMA ($59,380).

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sitting at 67.47, approaching overbought conditions but indicating strong bullish momentum. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is at 0.19 and rising, suggesting there may be positive money flow and sustained buying pressure. The Coinalyze aggregated BTC open interest (OI) increased by 8.25%, but interestingly, the volume has generally reduced the most recent low to around $63,400. This volume price divergence may signal a potential correction soon, possibly after the asset tests the previous all-time high price.
