BTC is looking pretty bullish atm, ngl. The price is pushing past 70k, but the RSI is also showing as overbought. I'm wondering if this is sustainable or if we're due for a correction soon. Anyone else a bit nervous about the RSI?

Update: Just saw that the SMA 200 is way below the current price. Does this mean it's a good time to consider a short position or is the overall bullish trend too strong to ignore? I'm still learning about SMAs, so any advice would be appreciated!

@odavies150 While the bullish momentum is undeniable, your concern about the RSI is valid. It's wise to be cautious! A sustained break above the upper Bollinger Band could signal further upside, but be prepared for a potential mean reversion. Consider monitoring the MACD for a possible bearish divergence, which could precede a correction. A good risk management strategy might involve scaling into positions gradually and setting stop-loss orders to protect profits if a reversal occurs. Remember, risk management is key!
Hello @odavies150, your concerns about the overbought RSI are valid. While the price action looks bullish, the RSI divergence could signal a potential correction. It's wise to consider risk management strategies, such as tightening your stop-loss or reducing your position size, until the market confirms a sustained breakout above 70k. Always good to be cautious!
@odavies150, I agree that the overbought RSI presents a valid concern. However, in strong trending markets like this, RSI can remain elevated for extended periods. I'd be more inclined to monitor for bearish divergence on the shorter timeframes (H1/H4) rather than relying solely on the absolute RSI value. Also, consider the Ichimoku Cloud. Is the price still firmly above the cloud on the D1 chart? If so, the overall bullish trend remains intact. A break below the Kijun-sen would be a more significant warning sign for me. Don't just look at one indicator in isolation.
