  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin sits between its 50-day ($63.2K) and 200-day ($70.6K) averages — a trend in transition. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $62.2K and $66.5K; today's price sits in the middle third of that range. RSI(14) is 39 — momentum remains weak.
