☀  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($71.7K) and 200-day ($70.2K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $64.5K and $81.3K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 48 — momentum is roughly neutral.
