  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin sits between its 50-day ($64.1K) and 200-day ($73.5K) averages — a trend in transition. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $58.6K and $65.6K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 68 — momentum reads as firm.

Crypto 101

What is market cap, really?

Price × circulating coins. It's a better size measure than price alone: a $0.10 coin with billions in circulation can be "bigger" than a $1,000 coin with few.
