On the technical side, the cryptocurrency remains is a positive momentum according to the MACD (12, 26, 9) readings and it has just touched the overbought territory in line with the RSI (14).

Is this the right moment to short the S&P 500 Index and go long Bitcoin? There is no simple answer to this question, but the relative value technical investors are probably wondering what is going to happen next.
