  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading below both its 50-day ($71.1K) and 200-day ($76.3K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as down. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $60.9K and $75.8K; today's price sits in the lower third of that range. RSI(14) is 55 — momentum is roughly neutral.

Crypto 101

Why does the Fed matter to crypto?

Interest rates set the appetite for risk assets. Cheap money historically lifted crypto; rate hikes drained it. Crypto trades as part of global markets, not apart from them.

“"Fear & Greed" is a thermometer, not a crystal ball.”
