Bitcoin Climbs Back Above $71,000 As Extreme Fear and Oversold Metrics Shape Outlook
On Monday, Bitcoin recovered above $71,000 after a sharp deterioration in crypto market sentiment pushed several indicators to record pessimistic levels. Some analysts argue that extreme fear, an RSI near 15 and a crypto Fear & Greed Index low of 5 could signal a relief rally, while others caution that Bitcoin remains far below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Liquidation data showing over $5.45 billion in potential short liquidations above current prices versus about $2.4 billion near $60,000 highlights both upside pressure and lingering downside risk.
