The message read:
Bitcoin is inches away from a new all-time high. Failed on the first try, but now retesting the 4-Hour 25E MA and the RSI 50 level. Both are usually good entries for a bounce. $70,000 is just a matter of time, and patience remains the key to the game.
As Bitcoin continues to rise, the token’s fear and greed index appears to have skyrocketed as well. Jelle also emphasized it in another after that BTC’s “fear and greed index is currently reaching extreme levels.”
However, this does not mean that we have one pull back, said the expert. He then clarified that from the moment Bitcoin crossed $20,000, the fear and greed index was higher than it is now, while urging investors not to get “shaken out” of the market.
