BTC Price Volatility Coming Soon?
Amid this massive Bitcoin movement by the crypto exchange, there’s growing speculation of a major BTC price volatility coming ahead. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted a critical resistance level for Bitcoin (BTC) at $89,000. This level marks the convergence of the 50-day moving average and a descending trendline stemming from Bitcoin’s all-time high.
Martinez analysis shows that it is important for Bitcoin to break through this cluster in order to stage a significant bullish momentum ahead. The current Bitcoin price prediction shows that bulls might try to restest this breakout again. However, failure to surpass it may result in continued consolidation or a potential pullback for BTC.
Furthermore, the analyst shares the Bitcoin news pointing out that the Bitcoin Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recently entered the overbought territory. The last six times the RSI has entered this territory, BTC has entered sharp corrections thereafter.
The TD Sequential indicator, known for its accuracy in identifying market reversals, suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) may be nearing a short-term peak. this shows that there could be some profit-taking moving ahead.
