☀ The Read Where the chart sits — description, not prediction Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($67.6K) and 200-day ($69.4K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $62.8K and $80.3K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 80 — territory traditionally described as overbought.
