Bitcoin bulls show signs of exhaustion

Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high of $93,265 on Wednesday and declined 3.3% on Thursday. At the time of writing on Friday, it trades slightly above around $88,200.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also stands at 75, 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 10.6% from its current position and retest its $78,807 support level.
