Their current low selling pressure can be seen as a sign of resilience. On the contrary, it may also hint at complacency.<\/p>\n<p>If Bitcoin\u2019s price stagnates or falls further, the risk of miner capitulation might loom large.<\/p>\n<p>Should stress begin to surface, a new wave of forced selling could emerge. This might tilt Bitcoin\u2019s delicate equilibrium sharply into a phase of renewed volatility.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin\u2019s price outlook<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin, at press time, was hovering near the $95,000-mark. However, its momentum indicators suggested caution.<\/p>\n<p>The RSI seemed to be approaching overbought territory at 68.44, hinting at potential exhaustion among buyers.
