Bitcoin Market Capitalization Breaks Records

Achieving a capitalization of IDR 35.8 quadrillion ($2.18 trillion) is an important milestone in Bitcoin’s (BTC) journey as a global investment asset.

The influx of institutional investors also boosted the overall liquidity of the crypto market, making Bitcoin more stable and attractive to big players.

This rise reflects the market’s increasing confidence in crypto as a financial instrument of the future.

Although the price rally is still ongoing, some technical indicators hint at a possible short-term correction. Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is now at 72, which indicates an overbought condition.

Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is still in the bullish zone, but is starting to flatten, signaling a potential weakening of momentum.

Analysts advise investors to be cautious, especially after the sharp rise over the past few weeks. A small correction could occur as part of the market’s natural consolidation. Nonetheless, the long-term outlook for Bitcoin remains positive, especially with institutional adoption on the rise.
