Bitcoin : Bull run or Sentimental bubble?

Short
BINANCE:BTCUSDT   Bitcoin / TetherUS
Before anything ,
I have spent 8 years navigating the financial markets, with Level 3 CFA and a Master's in Finance under my belt, I've seen my fair share of trends. The current Bitcoin surge seems sentiment-driven, with investors potentially fearing a weakening dollar and seeking alternatives. However the possibility of a bubble can't be ignored.
The correlation between Bitcoin and the U.S Dollar Index (DXY) has historically been negative.
This means that generally, when the value of the US dollar strengthens (DXY goes up), the price of Bitcoin tends to decrease, and vice versa.
Here's a breakdown of the relationship:
* Strong (DXY up) : investors might be more likely to hold onto dollars as a safe haven asset, leading to a decrease in Bitcoin's price.
* Weak (DXY down) : Bitcoin can be seen as a hedge against inflation or economic uncertainty, so its price might raise as the dollars weakens.
There are some nuances to consider, though:
* Strength of the correlation : The correlation isn't always perfect, and crypto-specific factors can sometimes outweighs the dollar's influence.
* Recent trends: While historically negative, the correlation has fluctuated recently.In late March 2024, there was a brief weakening of the negative correlation. However, it has strengthened again as of April 2024.
Overall, understanding the relationship between Bitcoin and the DXY can be helpful for making informed decisions in the cryptocurrency market.
Also, the previous Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data and employee information can indirectly impact Bitcoin's price through their influence on the US dollar and investor sentiment. Here's How :
*Strong NFP : it indicate a lot of new jobs and a healthy economy which can lead to a strong US dollar (DXY up)
and in my POV also as technical correlation between DXY and Bitcoin indicate's to me, I can see in my own opinion that The recent rise of Bitcoin's price could be attributed to investor sentiment. Some fear a potential weakening of the US dollar and are seeking alternative assets like Bitcoin, so we can see a potential bubble, so however wit's important to consider the possibility of a bubble. Bitcoin's history is marked by periods of rapid price increases followed by corrections, and whether the price increase is sustainable remains to be seens, it's a complex market influenced by various factors, and we can see that the DXY is trying to respect his support and making an UP move, so be aware from bitcoin's price which I predict it to fall from 72,500 to 65,700 at any moment in the next two weeks.
