Bulls strengthened by infusion of capital inflows

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) highlighted the notable inflow of capital into Bitcoin over the past 48 hours. The indicator rose sharply from negative to positive with a reading of +0.07, as of the time of writing. This translated into a significant rally by buyers to break out of the price range.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) echoed the new buying pressure, as it climbed above neutral 50 and stood at 62. These were pointers that Bitcoin was experiencing a new wave of demand after last week’s lackluster price action.

A major hurdle in the form of a bearish order block (OB) at the $30k price zone lies in the way of bulls achieving more gains. A look at the 12-hour timeframe showed that price has retraced twice at this bearish OB.

With BTC maintaining a bearish outlook on the daily timeframe, crossing the $30k hurdle will be key for bulls to maintain the bullish rally and push on for more gains.
