Bitcoin: the $100K reached, what`s next?The long awaited $100K target came finally during the previous week. This is another significant milestone for BTC and the crypto market. Although BTC was struggling during the first half of the week to push the price toward the higher grounds, still, news regarding a new SEC leadership pushed the price above the $100K target for the first time in the history of BTC. News was released that Paul Atkins would lead the SEC under the Trump administration. As Atkins is a proponent of digital assets and the industry around it, the market reaction was positive.
The RSI slowed down a bit, but it is still moving within the overbought territory, which is quite “normal” under current circumstances in which BTC is traded. The MA 50 continues to strongly diverge from MA200, without any indication that some change in trend might come anytime soon.
The $100K target is reached, so the current question is, what is next for BTC?. It should not be any surprise if BTC decides to slow down a bit in the coming period. This assumption is not based on technical analysis, because BTC is currently moving in an uncharted territory, but on a simple demand-supply economics. As the end of year approaches, and holidays around it, it could be expected that the markets will slow down during the last two weeks of the year. Positive news in a post-election period drawed a significant portion of funds into BTC, and there is a lower probability that investors will make any kind of positioning during the last two weeks of December. In this sense, the expectation is that BTC might slow down, but any kind of significant drop in value should not be expected.
