◆ Technical view · 22 September

Monday's close placed Bitcoin at $86,620.00, with its momentum reading of 73.9 — a figure that puts it firmly in overbought territory and some 10.2 per cent above the mid-range threshold. The session was accompanied by net inflows of $618mn into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds on Monday the 21st of September, and $792mn across crypto ETFs more broadly, a level of institutional conviction that appears to have moved in step with the price rather than against it.

The overbought condition is not Bitcoin's alone. Ether closed Monday's session at $2,776.19 with momentum at 72.1; BNB at $799.41, at 72.4; and Dogecoin at $0.09986, at 70.6 — all four assets above the 70 threshold. Solana's Monday close of $118.90 placed its momentum precisely at 70.0, the boundary itself. Of the assets surveyed, only XRP, TRX, and HYPE remain below overbought ground.

The breadth of the condition across the market warrants attention. When several assets reach extension simultaneously, the distance to the nearest support acquires greater relevance: Bitcoin's stands 13.5 per cent below Monday's close, Ether's 15.1 per cent below, BNB's 11.9 per cent below. The sentiment barometer, at 59 out of 100, reflects a market that has advanced with purpose, yet has not surrendered its composure.
