🚨 Is Bitcoin About to CRASH Again? Indicators Suggest Caution
Bitcoin's struggle to break the $70,000 barrier may signal an upcoming price correction. After reaching a 12-week high of $69,487 on Oct. 21, Bitcoin has already seen a 3.7% dip in just three days, and multiple on-chain and technical indicators are hinting at the possibility of a deeper pullback.
Profit-Taking Fears
With 92.4% of Bitcoin holders now in profit, the risk of profit-taking has increased. Historically, when a majority of holders are in the green, markets tend to overheat, leading to sell-offs. If BTC’s price stays above $55,000, over 90% of investors will still be in profit. This could potentially lead to further downward pressure as investors lock in gains.
Open Interest Hits Record Highs
Bitcoin’s open interest (OI), which tracks the number of active futures contracts, recently set an all-time high, exceeding $40 billion on Oct. 21. High OI often indicates increased leverage in the market, raising the risk of volatility. A similar spike in OI preceded Bitcoin’s 20% drop in August, suggesting that BTC may be poised for another sharp correction.
Retrace from Overbought Conditions
Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached overbought levels of 70 on Oct. 20, triggering a pullback to $66,000. This pattern echoes past market tops in 2021 and 2019, where similar RSI readings led to significant price corrections.
Fear & Greed: Signaling Caution
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sits at 72, reflecting "greed" in the market. This high level of sentiment often precedes market downturns. The last time the index reached these levels in March, Bitcoin fell from its all-time high to $56,500.
The Bottom Line
While Bitcoin's rally has excited bulls, caution is warranted. The combination of high OI, overbought conditions, and profit-taking signals could lead to a price retracement similar to previous market cycles.
