☀  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin sits between its 50-day ($81.8K) and 200-day ($73.0K) averages — a trend in transition. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $80.0K and $86.5K; today's price sits in the lower third of that range. RSI(14) is 43 — momentum remains weak.

What does "DYOR" mean?

"Do your own research" — crypto's standard disclaimer, and genuinely good advice: incentives in this industry mean much of what you read is someone's exit strategy.

“Most altcoins from the last cycle never recovered. Position sizing matters.”
