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

Bitcoin\u2019s recent outflows from exchanges and other vital factors support the case for a push toward a new all-time high.<\/p>\n

However, the rising RSI suggests the asset may be overbought and vulnerable to a short-term pullback.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

New Peak on the Way?<\/h2>\n

The <\/span>price of the leading cryptocurrency<\/span> has been booming lately, briefly climbing above $104,000 earlier today (May 9).<\/span> As of this writing, bitcoin (BTC) is worth approximately $103,000, which represents a 33% monthly increase.<\/span><\/p>\n

The asset\u2019s impressive rally sparked <\/span>huge<\/span> enthusiasm <\/span>on<\/span> crypto X, with multiple users predicting<\/a> that an upswing toward a new all-time high is just a matter of time. Some <\/span>important<\/span> factors support the bullish thesis.<\/span><\/p>\n

An example is BTC\u2019s exchange netflow, which has been predominantly negative <\/span>on<\/span> most days in the past week or so. <\/span>This<\/span> indicates a shift from centralized trading platforms toward self-custody methods and reduced selling pressure.

The interest in BTC is also worth mentioning. Over the last few weeks, Google searches with the word \u2018bitcoin\u2019 have been on the rise, signaling increased attention from investors, especially retail.

As <\/span>CryptoPotato<\/span><\/em> reported<\/span><\/a> earlier today (May 9), Bitcoin\u2019s network saw almost 350,000 newly created wallets in a single day, signaling a FOMO effect. On some occasions in the past, the massive influx of retail investors has been a precursor of cycle tops. Although the current retail numbers are higher now than in the last several weeks, they are still far from what could be described as the bull run top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last but not least, we will focus on the upcoming meeting between US and Chinese officials <\/span>scheduled for<\/span> this weekend. The two sides will supposedly discuss de-escalation of the ongoing trade war. Recently, American President Donald Trump <\/span>hinted<\/span><\/a> that the tariffs imposed on China might be cut in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eased tension between the two biggest economies in the world could positively impact the financial and crypto markets <\/span>since it would reduce uncertainty and might boost<\/span> investor confidence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Greed Is Here, But Watch Out<\/span><\/h2>\n

BTC\u2019s<\/span> recent bull run <\/span>seems to have<\/span> affected investors\u2019 sentiment.<\/span> Today, the <\/span>popular<\/span> Fear & Greed Index surged to \u201cgreed\u201d territory of 73, a level last observed in January this year.

The metric tracks numerous segments, such as price volatility, social media comments, and surveys, to determine the momentary investor feelings toward BTC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The predominantly bullish sentiment might sound encouraging, but one should <\/span>keep in mind<\/span> Warren Buffett\u2019s advice, who once urged people \u201cto be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is another indicator worth monitoring. The momentum oscillator measures the speed and magnitude of the latest price changes and varies from 0 to 100. It helps traders spot potential trend reversals, as readings above 70 typically signal that the asset could be overbought and headed for a pullback. Currently, the ratio <\/span>stands<\/span><\/a> at almost 75.<\/span><\/p>\n
