BTC nears all-time highs
Updated
Bitcoin exploded past $71,000 and, in the process, broke above the upper bound of the descending channel. This price action was accompanied by a rise in RSI, Stochastic, and MACD on the daily chart, all of which are bullish signs. However, with a recent slowdown in Bitcoin ETF inflows, it is in question how much upside potential is left before Bitcoin starts giving up some of the gains. Therefore, much attention will be paid to Bitcoin’s ability to stay above the channel’s upper bound. If Bitcoin closes above the channel for multiple consecutive days, it will bolster a bullish case in the short term. Conversely, a failure will be slightly concerning. Besides technicals, the performance of the U.S. stock market, particularly the tech sector, also remains a significant factor due to its high correlation with the cryptocurrency market. If the stock market begins forming a double top, Bitcoin will be negatively affected.
