Bitcoin’s Golden Cross: Is $113,000 the Next Stop or Just Another Tall Tale?

by

Well now, it appears the 50-day moving average has gone and hopped over the 200-day like a frog on a hot skillet, forming what the city slickers call a “golden cross.” Folks say that’s a bullish sign, though I’ve seen plenty of bulls in my day and most of ‘em just make a mess. Bitcoin, that slippery critter, has wriggled past $110,000 and is eyeing $113,000 like a raccoon eyes a chicken coop—right in line with the prophecy of one Benjamin Cowen, who I reckon must have a crystal ball or just a mighty fine hat.

Yesterday, there was a short squeeze so fierce it sent $239 million in short positions to the graveyard—may their wallets rest in peace. That kind of liquidation is like pouring kerosene on a campfire: things got lively real quick. Bitcoin shot past its old highs, fueled by all those folks betting against it. But before you start counting your chickens (or your satoshis), remember: this market’s as jumpy as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Cowen’s $113,000 target might be sensible, but sense is often in short supply around these parts.

The charts are showing an uptrend steeper than the Mississippi in flood season, but there’s a wall of sellers stacked between $111,000 and $113,000 thicker than Aunt Polly’s fruitcake. The RSI is up at 76—overbought territory—so don’t be surprised if things cool off faster than lemonade in January. Volume’s up, momentum’s strong, but traders ought to keep their wits about them—this ain’t no Sunday picnic. 😏

Now, golden crosses are about as reliable as a politician’s promise. Sometimes they lead to riches; other times, you end up holding the bag (and not the good kind). If Bitcoin gets swatted down at $113,000, it might tumble back to $101,000 quicker than you can say “margin call.” The crowd’s already hollering about $200,000 targets—optimism so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. And when everyone’s grinning ear to ear, that’s usually when the market decides to play a practical joke. 🤠

If Bitcoin manages to close above $113,000 with gusto and volume to match, we might see another rally that’ll have folks telling tall tales for years. The golden cross is real enough, Cowen’s call holds water, and momentum’s got legs—but don’t forget: Bitcoin’s skating on thin ice with all this wild-eyed optimism. Whether it breaks through or gets sent packing at $113,000 will tell us if this bull run’s got more miles in it—or if it’s time to hitch up the wagon and head home.

Would you like me to break down or explain any part of this rewrite?
