Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience amid shifting market sentiments, as noted by Pushpendra Singh, co-founder of PushpendraTech. He quoted Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s observation that the dollar is not weakening, but rather Bitcoin is gaining strength. Priced at $79,329.60, Bitcoin has witnessed a 1.55% increase over the last 24 hours. It maintains a 24-hour trading volume of $29.18 billion.
Notably, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin is at 70.47, signaling that the cryptocurrency is overbought. Historically, such conditions suggest a possible market pullback or a phase of consolidation. However, bullish sentiment could sustain elevated RSI levels for a longer duration.

Furthermore, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is currently positive. The blue line remains above the orange signal line, which indicates ongoing bullish momentum. However, the narrowing gap between these lines suggests that the pace of growth could be slowing.
Additionally, there has been a noticeable decline in trading volume following a recent surge. This drop indicates a temporary reduction in buying pressure, though overall trading activity remains robust.
Bitcoin’s support level stands at $77,000, while resistance levels are observed at $80,000 and $82,000. These figures suggest crucial points to watch as investors assess Bitcoin’s next move.
Market Dynamics and Future Potential
On the hand, Bitcoin's market cap remains robust at $1.51 trillion, backed by a circulating supply of 19.78 million BTC. Its maximum supply is capped at 21 million, reinforcing its value proposition driven by scarcity.
However, Bitcoin’s dominance has decreased to 57.88%, indicating that altcoins are also gaining ground in the market. This diversification highlights a broader market rally beyond Bitcoin. Despite this, BTC exchange balances continue to decrease.
Hence, this trend is considered a bullish signal, as it shows that holders are transferring assets off exchanges, implying a long-term holding strategy. Additionally, open interest in Bitcoin futures increased by 1.24%, reaching $86.34 billion, even as futures trading volume fell by 22%.
Investor Sentiment and Institutional Involvement
Conversely, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains at a high level of 75, reflecting increased bullish sentiment. Institutional investors are actively participating, with significant transactions totaling $145.14 billion in the past week.
Net outflows of $628.58 million support a positive outlook, suggesting that holders are confident in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. Data reveals that 99% of current Bitcoin holders are in profit.
Furthermore, 71% of these investors have held their assets for more than a year, strengthening Bitcoin’s appeal as a long-term investment option. Analysts from Changellyblog predict that Bitcoin’s price by December 2024 will range between $59,821.02 and $84,052.07. The average trading price is expected to hover around $71,936.55, based on current market projections.
