Bitcoin demonstrates zero price dynamics per day and is traded at about $ 54,000. The local overnight high was around $ 56K, from where selling intensified. However, the market sentiment is optimistic as Bitcoin has been able to strengthen its position.
At the current stage, even unsuccessful attempts to test the recently established all-time high of about $ 57K will be perceived by market participants on the positive side.
The Greed and Fear Index for Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies showed a 13-point decrease in 24 hours to a value of “68”, which corresponds to the “greed” mode. This is all due to the nature of the index, which reflects somewhat late information based on data history. The RSI for the BTCUSD pair on the daily chart is in the neutral zone, leaving room for growth.
In this situation, any positive news trigger, even of a relatively small scale, may well provoke further growth.
