☀ The Read Where the chart sits — description, not prediction Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($81.3K) and 200-day ($72.4K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $80.9K and $86.6K; today's price sits in the lower third of that range. RSI(14) is 39 — momentum remains weak.
