Bitcoin is blazing a trail through the roof as the leading cryptocurrency skyrockets to astonishingly great heights. Today was another landmark for Bitcoin when it reached an amazing all-time peak of $70,083, according to data from CoinMarketcap. However, even as bulls rejoice over this record-breaking price rally, analysts at CryptoQuant are sounding a word of caution about possible overheating and correction risks that cannot be ignored.
CryptoQuant’s Bull-Bear market cycle indicator flagged an overheated bull phase as prices rose above the $65K mark. Miners are considered overpaid, with their profitability at its highest level since December 2023. In addition, traders’ unrealized profit margins have reached 57%, a level historically associated with upcoming corrections.
Still, the data shows that short-term holders are starting to sell off at the highest profit-taking levels since February 2021, which may result in increased selling pressure. Hence, these combined factors have raised eyebrows among market analysts and seasoned traders.
Analyst Insights on Bitcoin’s Momentum
Michaël van de Poppe, the famous crypto analyst, has recently shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). He argues that Bitcoin is in momentum, which has led to it achieving a new all-time high. Nevertheless, everyone is wondering whether this digital currency will close in on $100K before or after the halving event expected in six weeks’ time. Conversely, there might be a correction that will give altcoins room to take the lead.
Secondly, Jelle, another analyst, has come out and opined that the price is being pulled away by bears who are still trying to keep it below $69k, but while they do this, their strength is disappearing very fast. Jelle does not think they can hold for a third test; therefore, price discovery may begin early next week. In a rallying cry to fellow traders, Jelle advised, “Rest up this weekend, the crazy part is about to begin.”
As Bitcoin soars into the stratosphere, the crypto community wonders if this rally will be sustained or if some consolidation must occur first. It doesn’t matter what path it chooses – one thing for certain – another thrilling chapter of Bitcoin’s story unfolds.
