Bitcoin trades at $123,810, up 1.26% in 24 hours, but RSI at 71.5 suggests overbought conditions while price holds 17.2% above 200-day moving average in bullish trend.
Market Overview Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory, trading at $123,810.27 with a modest 1.26% gain over the past 24 hours. The leading cryptocurrency maintains its position well above all major moving averages, sitting 17.2% above the 200-day SMA at $105,679.76. Despite the positive price action, technical indicators are flashing warning signs as BTC approaches potential resistance levels. Technical Picture The RSI reading of 71.5 places Bitcoin firmly in overbought territory, suggesting the recent rally may be losing momentum. However, the MACD remains bullish with a positive histogram reading of 1245.1158, indicating that upward momentum persists despite overextended conditions. Bitcoin’s position relative to moving averages tells a compelling story. The cryptocurrency trades 7.1% above the 20-day SMA at $115,558.67 and 8.8% above the 50-day SMA at $113,839.61, demonstrating strong short-term bullish sentiment. This technical setup suggests that any pullback would likely find support at these moving average levels. The 24-hour trading volume of $1.32 billion on Binance spot markets indicates healthy participation, though this represents moderate activity rather than exceptional interest that typically accompanies major breakouts. Critical Levels to Watch $124,362.28 serves as immediate resistance, representing both the 24-hour high and a key technical barrier. A break above this level could signal continuation of the current uptrend, potentially targeting higher resistance zones. $123,227.52 acts as the current pivot point, providing a neutral reference for short-term price action. Sustained trading above this level supports the bullish narrative. $115,558.67 represents the first major support level, coinciding with the 20-day moving average. This level should provide initial buying interest on any corrective move.…
