  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading below both its 50-day ($72.4K) and 200-day ($76.9K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as down. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $60.9K and $77.3K; today's price sits in the lower third of that range. RSI(14) is 61 — momentum reads as firm.
