☀  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin sits between its 50-day ($81.9K) and 200-day ($73.1K) averages — a trend in transition. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $77.7K and $86.5K; today's price sits in the lower third of that range. RSI(14) is 34 — momentum remains weak.
