Bitcoin bulls show signs of exhaustion

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also stands at 80, well above its overbought level of 70. It points downwards, signaling increasing risk. Traders should exercise caution when adding to their long positions, as a move out of the overbought territory by the RSI could provide a clear sign of a pullback.
If BTC faces a corrective pullback, it could decline 10% from its current position and retest its $78,807 support level.
