- BTC was up by more than 15% in the last seven days.
- Buying pressure on the coin was high, but its RSI and CMF suggested a trend reversal.
Over the last few days, Bitcoin [BTC] has come a long way as it surpassed the $43,000 mark. As reported earlier by AMBCrypto, crossing the $42,500 mark was a task for the king of cryptos, which it has completed successfully.
Therefore, should investors now expect BTC to rise above $50,000 anytime soon?
Bitcoin crosses a key level
As reported by AMBCrypto, BTC’s liquidation increased near the $42,500 mark in the recent past. Because of this, it was important for the coin to go above that level in order to reach a new high. Thankfully, Bitcoin managed to overcome that barrier.
According to CoinMarketCap, BTC was up by more than 15% in the last seven days.
At the time of writing, it was trading at $43,990.87 with a market capitalization of over $860 billion. The possibility of BTC reaching $50,000 seems high based on its price trend.
In fact, Ali, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted a tweet highlighting a bullish indicator. As per his tweet, BTC’s realized price was surpassing the long-term Holder price.
Typically, this means that the market is gaining momentum, with newer investors willing to buy at higher prices.

Though the aforementioned metrics look optimistic, BTC’s daily chart revealed a different story. As per AMBCrypto’s analysis, BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was in the overbought zone, which can increase selling pressure.
Its Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also registered a downtick, increasing the chances of a price correction in the days to follow.
