Bitcoin Surges Past Key Level Amid Liquidation-Driven Momentum

Aaron Dishner, co-founder and lead instructor at The Better Traders, Inc., analyzed Bitcoin's price movement on August 21. He noted that BTC closed above the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $72,204, indicating a potential continuation of momentum. However, he also warned that this move is likely due to liquidation-driven cascades rather than genuine buying power.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for BTC reached a record-high 91.63, while the Fear & Greed index hit 72. This suggests a high level of greed and potential for a snapback in price. Dishner expects a nasty reversal once reality sets in, with a possible target down to $63k.

Ethereum's RSI also reached an inverse extreme at 94.31, which could be a sign of a brutal reversal. The coin is currently testing historical TBO Resistance around $2,376 from March. Shorting this massive move would be considered high-risk, but ETH appears to be closing in on a significant price drop.

The stablecoin dominance chart shows a weekly TBO Close Long in progress, indicating a potential accumulation of small-cap assets ahead of schedule. The U.S. Dollar Index is dropping in strong bearish mode, while the Euro is moving toward TBO Resistance around 1.18.
