On the daily chart, BTC\u2019s RSI has climbed to a three-month high, approaching the 75 level. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This move comes after Bitcoin\u2019s nearly 10% rally from the $70k level, when RSI was sitting in a neutral zone. In simple terms, BTC is now moving into overbought territory, a sign of strong momentum, but also a condition that increases the risk of short-term cooling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, Bitcoin shorts appear to be getting more aggressive. As shown in the chart below, BTC funding rates remain deeply negative. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, negative Funding Rates jumped nearly 400%, dropping from \u22120.003 the previous day to \u22120.0148 on the 17th of April, just as BTC rallied roughly 2.5% toward $78k.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_590242\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-590242\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-scaled.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-590242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-scaled.png\" alt=\"BTC\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-1600x900.png 1600w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-1280x720.png 1280w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-960x540.png 960w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-640x360.png 640w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-320x180.png 320w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-160x90.png 160w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Funding-Rates-All-Exchanges-1-1200x675.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-590242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CryptoQuant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taken together, an overbought RSI, short-term holders locking in gains, and persistently negative Funding Rates, the setup explains why betting on Bitcoin\u2019s downside currently looks reasonable, with bears expecting resistance before a clean move above $80k.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if bulls step in and absorb the selling pressure, this same setup could quickly flip into a bear trap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an institutional angle, over $650 million has recently moved into Bitcoin ETFs, with BlackRock\u2019s IBIT accounting for nearly 45% of total inflows. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside a positive Coinbase Premium Index (CPI), this suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/status\/2044931143590703381\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bid support<\/a> is still present beneath the market.
