The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator highlighted the intensity of the current bullish rally. It posted a bullish crossover above the zero mark to signal a strong bullish bias.
Nevertheless, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) showed that capital inflows were subdued, as it hovered around the zero mark. With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hitting the overbought zone along with muted capital inflows, a minor pullback could be experienced in the short term.
This could see BTC retest the $29.4k support in the coming days before a continuation of the bullish uptrend, with $31k the long-term target for buyers.
On the other hand, a sharp rejection at $30k could reintroduce bears back into the market with a downward move. This is a possibility if the $29.4k support doesn’t hold on a retest.
