  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($70.4K) and 200-day ($70.0K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $62.8K and $81.3K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 42 — momentum remains weak.

What is the Bitcoin halving?

Every four years, the reward miners earn per block is cut in half, slowing new supply. Halvings are scheduled in code and have historically drawn enormous market attention.

“Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million. That's the whole pitch in one sentence.”
