As he depicts in the chart below, Bitcoin&#8217;s RSI over the past five months looks much like it did during the 2016 phase of the last bull run, during which Bitcoin consolidated for a few months, resting in a range, before skyrocketing higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>History repeating would see Bitcoin start to resume its upward momentum this month, then start to show more bouts of parabolic price action come the end of 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#bitcoin<\/a> is looking strong <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gVDAr1fEF2\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/gVDAr1fEF2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; PlanB (@100trillionUSD) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/100trillionUSD\/status\/1169343806615040002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">September 4, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The fundamentals are seemingly supportive of this trend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Argentina has just<a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/buy-bitcoin-argentina-bonds-collapse-capital-controls-introducedpital\/\">\u00a0instituted capital controls<\/a>\u00a0on its citizens to halt a slump in foreign-currency reserves&#8221;, which analysts say will spark Bitcoin demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And<a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/novogratz-bitcoin-8500-rally-20000-bullish-2019\/\"> speaking with Bloomberg last week<\/a>, Mike Novogratz of Galaxy Digital said that institutions are finally starting to enter into the cryptocurrency game, and will thus drive up the price of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many others in the industry, he believes that this class of investors will bring in monumental levels of capital to this space, outpacing any retail investors that came before them.
