Bitcoin Extremely Overbought
Mohit Sorout, a founding partner at Bitazu Capital, shared the chart seen below on the day that Bitcoin moved past $19,000.
The chart shows BTC’s price action relative to a Pi Cycle Top Indicator on the site Look Into Bitcoin. The indicator is a formula that has accurately predicted medium-term BTC highs in the past, including the mid-2019 high, along with a series of intra-trend highs in 2016 and 2017.
Should history repeat, there’s a good chance that Bitcoin will correct back toward the lower bound of the indicator, then will return higher to break above the upper bound of the indicator.
Alex Fiskum, an associate at Alice Capital, shared a similarly bearish chart. The chart shows that Bitcoin’s current market sentiment and positioning looks extremely similar to the 2019 highs and the all-time highs that were seen in 2017.
