In terms of Bitcoin price analysis, the price could be forming a double top on the daily time frame as it approaches the 100-day SMA this week. However, given the momentum we have seen this week, it is highly unlikely that the bearish pattern—a double top—will hold.
Chances are that the Bitcoin price will move above the 40K price level this time and we could see the beginning of another bull rally. The RSI is clearly showing signs of overbought, but remember that the RSI becomes irrelevant when it comes to Bitcoin’s bull rally as it can stay overbought for an extended period of time. The next meaningful resistance is going to the 200-day SMA for the Bitcoin price.
