  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading below both its 50-day ($73.2K) and 200-day ($77.3K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as down. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $60.9K and $77.5K; today's price sits in the lower third of that range. RSI(14) is 52 — momentum is roughly neutral.
