Bitcoin's recent rise (BTC) market cap to $2 trillion has attracted a wave of new buyers to the market, but at the same time, caution is growing among experienced traders. Last Thursday, BTC’s price topped $100.000 for the first time, pushing its market cap above $2 trillion, a milestone not seen since January 31. Since then, the market has remained above $2 trillion, with expectations for record highs rising ahead of upcoming US inflation data.

In such an optimistic market, we often see new investors finding their way to cryptocurrency, and currently that number is high. This surge hints at a strong ‘fear of missing out’ (FOMO), which makes many buyers feel compelled to invest. They are guided by emotions and the fear of missing out, which can push them to impulsive purchases without in-depth analysis.

The data shows that the demand for Bitcoin from newbies is strong; the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for early buyers has held steady at 100 all week. This indicates strong buying interest among these new investors, who are getting their first taste of the token. The 30-day RSI level among this group indicates that there is significant demand for Bitcoin, which is positive.

Despite this, the picture is less encouraging for other investors. Activity from experienced traders seems to point to a consolidation or even a pullback in the BTC price. Demand from momentum buyers remains weak, with a 30-day RSI of only 11. These traders hope to profit from an existing up or down trend, but they lack enthusiasm.

In addition, the number of profit takers is increasing. If the new capital inflows start to slow down, this could lead to a stagnation or consolidation of the price, which could undermine the current bullish trend.

Bitcoin remains an interesting, if volatile, playground in the cryptocurrency world. Let's keep a close eye on the signals.
