Will the Crypto Bullrun Continue or Is a Weekend Pullback Coming ?

The global crypto market cap holds above $3.84T after testing upper Bollinger Band resistance

ETF inflows and stablecoin legislation fuel market upside, RSI signals nearing overbought zone

Analyst expects healthy correction, which would be ideal for strategic dip buying

The cryptocurrency market continues its bullish expansion, this time influenced by strong institutional inflows and regulatory clarity. The total market cap has breached $3.91 trillion, marking a significant technical breakout. Talking about sentiments, the Fear & Greed Index sits at 71, indicating rising optimism yet possibly inclining toward overheated conditions. 

That being said, as Bitcoin consolidates and altcoins catch the trend, the key question remains: will the crypto bullrun continue, or is a weekend pullback brewing? Join me as I take you through the specifics and an overview of what could be in store.

Total Crypto Market Cap: Cooling Signs Within a Strong Trend?

The 4-hour chart of the total crypto market cap I’ve shared reveals an uptrend, but surfacing short-term exhaustion. The market is currently pressing against the upper Bollinger Band  near ~$3.88T, indicating a stretched move that often comes before short-term corrections.

It is evident that the market is approaching the overbought territory, with the RSI at 68.70. That being said, if a pullback occurs, the mid-Bollinger Band at ~$3.73T and the lower band near $3.58T will serve as strong support zones.

Despite this short-term caution, the macro trend remains fairly bullish. The breakout above $3.9T is a strong signal that the business is ready to challenge higher valuations. This is especially if the key levels hold firm ground over the weekend.

Buy-the-Dip Playbook Still in Motion?

Popular analyst Michael van de Poppe highlights that when “Bitcoin consolidates, altcoins start firing off”. He believes that we’ll have some harsh corrections, and those would be great buy-the-dip opportunities.
