TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bitcoin surged from below $90K to briefly surpass $100K, driven by bullish momentum and CPI data. Analysts predict further gains, with some expecting a new all-time high and an \u201ceuphoria phase\u201d for the market.<\/span>
\nPositive exchange netflows and an RSI above 70 suggest potential selling pressure and overbought conditions, signaling a possible short-term correction.<\/p>\n

New ATH Incoming?<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin (BTC) once again proved its volatile nature in the past several days. It was trading at around $94,000-$95,000 during the weekend, but the bears stepped in at the start of the business week, suppressing the valuation below $90,000 for the first time since November last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As it turned out, though<\/span>, this was just a momentary plunge, and the price started climbing exponentially in the following days.<\/span> On January 15, BTC <\/span>soared<\/span><\/a> above $98,000 following the latest CPI data released by the US Labor Department. The bulls continued to prevail, and the asset briefly surged past $100K on January 16. In the next hours, BTC slightly retraced and is currently worth around $98,000 (per CoinGecko\u2019s data).

Crypto X is full of analysts who noticed the impressive price resurgence and predicted further gains <\/span>in the near future<\/span>. Captain Faibik <\/span>envisioned<\/span><\/a> a new all-time high by late January, while JAVON MARKS expects \u201ca massive breakout.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The latter <\/span>noted<\/span><\/a> a specific \u201cflag breakout\u201d on the price chart, maintaining that the last time this happened, BTC skyrocketed by over 70% in nearly a month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mikybull Crypto chipped in, too. The analyst <\/span>suggested<\/span><\/a> that surpassing the resistance level of around $99K could initiate \u201cthe thrill and euphoria\u201d psychological market phase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the phase where everything pumps, especially alts,\u201d they added.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Potential Correction?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Contrary to the bullish predictions, some metrics signal that the primary cryptocurrency could lose some steam in the short term. <\/span>According<\/span><\/a> to CryptoQuant, the BTC exchange <\/span>netflow<\/span> has been predominantly positive in the past seven days. <\/span>This<\/span> indicates a potential shift from self-custody methods toward centralized trading platforms, which could <\/span>be considered<\/span> bearish since it increases the immediate selling pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another factor worth <\/span>touching upon<\/span> is BTC\u2019s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which earlier today (January 16) <\/span>surpassed<\/span><\/a> 70.<\/span> Such a high level suggests the asset might be overbought and headed toward a possible pullback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the contrary, any readings below 30 could <\/span>be interpreted<\/span> as a bullish sign.<\/span><\/p>\n
