Bitcoin (BTC) has surged past the $80,000 mark for the first time, setting a new inflation-adjusted record high of $80,116.
This remarkable rally has been fueled by a combination of market optimism and recent political developments. As Mike Murphy from MarketWatch noted, “Bitcoin briefly topped $80,000 for the first time Sunday, extending its Trump-fueled rally”.
Is the Rally Overstretched?
Despite the bullish sentiment, some analysts are cautioning that the rally might be overstretched.

Omkar Godbole from CoinDesk highlighted that “chart studies reveal that BTC’s price rally appears overstretched and could be primed for a classic ‘bull market pullback”. This suggests that while the current momentum is strong, a short-term correction could be on the horizon.
Market Reactions and Future Outlook
The broader cryptocurrency market has also seen significant gains, with major tokens like Ether (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA) rallying alongside Bitcoin1. However, the potential for a pullback remains a key concern for investors.
As Godbole pointed out, “pullback risks still linger”, indicating that traders should remain cautious despite the recent highs.
