  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($66.4K) and 200-day ($69.2K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $62.8K and $79.6K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 89 — territory traditionally described as overbought.

Crypto 101

What does "DYOR" mean?

"Do your own research" — crypto's standard disclaimer, and genuinely good advice: incentives in this industry mean much of what you read is someone's exit strategy.

“Most altcoins from the last cycle never recovered. Position sizing matters.”
