  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin sits between its 50-day ($63.1K) and 200-day ($72.5K) averages — a trend in transition. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $58.6K and $66.5K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 61 — momentum reads as firm.
