RSI now sits at 74.88, above its moving average of 73.35, placing the asset in overbought territory even as the broader trend stays upward.
Bullish case: A break above $88,230.26 opens the path to $90,589.75, with continuation possible toward $93,428.51 if buying pressure holds.
Bearish case: A rejection at resistance followed by a breakdown would expose $85,293.22, then $81,926.00, with further weakness risking a drop to $78,939.77.
