The Bitcoin (BTC) price continued its uptrend today, reaching the high of $62,318. Buyers are trying to retake the previous high of $62,900. If the bulls break the recent high, the cryptocurrency will go up to $75,000.

In the previous price action, the bulls failed to sustain the bullish momentum above the $62,900 high. As a result, the BTC price fell back to the support at $59,000 as the bulls bought the dips. Today, buyers initiated a new uptrend to break the previous high. Can the bulls break the recent high? The Relative Strength Index is at 73, which suggests that Bitcoin has no room for a new uptrend. In other words, the price of BTC has reached the overbought zone. If the bulls fail to break the recent high, BTC/USD will be forced into a trading range between $59,000 and $62,500.
