☀  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($79.5K) and 200-day ($71.6K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $75.6K and $86.6K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 47 — momentum is roughly neutral.

What's an airdrop?

Free tokens distributed to users, usually to reward early adoption or decentralize ownership. Real ones exist; so do countless fake "airdrops" that are phishing traps.
