Martinez assured that despite the coin experiencing brief pullbacks, BTC’s price trajectory remains on track, noting the coin’s price stabilized at $74,812 after reaching an all-time record of $76,493.

Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant made the prediction after BTC hit $75,000 which he believed was influenced greatly by the results of the US election.
Ju explained that it triggered the price rally to reach that level, further positioning Bitcoin as one of the largest financial assets in terms of market capitalization.
Ju urged investors for subtle profit-taking during the “max pain” phases which are essential to understand the market dynamics of BTC.
He said that Bitcoin follows a cyclical nature, explaining that new traders usually endure losses when the market is bearish. After two years, investors see their digital assets change hands when the “max pain” phase dies down.
According to him, BTC’s current market environment matched well with an easing period.

Potential Cooling Off
However, some analysts projected a possible cooling off for BTC coming after the recent price hike, saying that it has breached the upper Bollinger Band serving as a cue for overbought conditions.
They suggested that there could be increasing pressure to sell and profit-taking because of the emergence of red candlestick formations.
BTC used to be in the overbought zone or a score above 70 in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart but now, it has retreated to 67.34, indicating “a loss of bullish momentum” and a potential price correction.
