From the technical point of view, the current week may be the last bullish one before a more profound decline. According to the Fibonacci retracement, growth may continue up to the 261.8% level, or around $46,000. After that, there is a high probability of seeing a sharp decline as the RSI indicator is already in the overbought zone.

Bitcoin is trading at $38,691 at press time.
