A sharp rejection or sell-off is rather typical at overbought levels near major resistance, but BTC is holding its ground so far, which is rather notable.

"This is very much how early bull markets have generally behaved." As reported by U.Today , Bitcoin's monthly Bollinger Bands have contracted to their "tightest ever" levels. In technical analysis, a prolonged Bollinger Band "squeeze" acts like a coiled spring, so the market could be on the verge of a massive move. Taking leadership over gold When it comes to the macro environment, Timmer has noted that both gold and Bitcoin remain incredibly valuable safety nets. However, the momentum between the two has recently diverged. "Gold has been lackluster lately after a very strong run," Timmer stated, pointing out a changing of the guard in the safe-haven market. "With Bitcoin taking over the leadership for now." #Bitcoin News #Jurrien Timmer
