The 14-day RSI for Bitcoin has touched the 20 level, indicating that the price is oversold. Bitcoin is trading at $26,045 as per data from CMC and is down 11.33% in the last 7 days. The crypto market has faced severe selling pressure for the last few days. The price of Bitcoin declined all the way to the $25,000 range. At the time of writing the price has been trading in a confined range. During the severe crash, the majority of altcoins have also lost remarkably, reaching record lows. Moreover, Santiment reports an 8.49% decrease in the 30-day moving average of Bitcoin’s market value over realized value (MVRV). This indicates that the asset’s current price is below its true worth. Furthermore, long-term active BTC investors are still in the green, since the 365-day MVRV ratio is now over 5%. Price Struggles to Gain Momentum The 14-day RSI on a daily time frame for Bitcoin has touched the level of 20, indicating that the price is oversold. This drop brings the present range to its lowest level since the collapse in March 2020. Source: TradingView Usually, if the RSI reading drops below 30 or crosses into the oversold territory, it indicates that selling pressure is increasing. Investors may be surprised to see the indicator usually stay in the oversold zone for far longer than they had expected. Source: CoinMarketCap The price has been consolidating ever since it briefly recovered from the $25,411 mark. For the price to gain strong momentum, it needs to cross the $26,870 mark. On the other hand, further decline can be expected if the price breaches the recent support level of $25,710. At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading at $26,045 as per data from CMC and is down 11.33% in the last 7 days. Moreover, the trading volume is up 15% in the last 24 hours.
 
XRP, the cryptocurrency known for its ties to Ripple, has recently faced a bout of volatility in the market. The coin’s value, currently hovering around $0.517 according to CoinGecko, experienced a 1.0% decline in the past 24 hours alone. Over the span of a week, XRP witnessed a significant 17.4% slump, reflecting the ongoing volatility that has come to characterize the cryptocurrency market. Despite its potential, XRP’s journey to break through the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a significant technical indicator, has hit a roadblock, casting doubts on its short-term performance. Understanding XRP’s 200 EMA And Its Impact The 200 EMA is a widely followed technical indicator that helps traders and analysts gauge the overall trend of a cryptocurrency’s price. It calculates the average price of an asset over a specific time period, giving more weight to recent data points. Breaking through the 200 EMA is often seen as a bullish sign, suggesting that the cryptocurrency’s price is gaining momentum and may experience upward movement. However, XRP’s recent struggle to surpass this threshold highlights the challenges it faces in regaining solid footing in the market. Market observers suggest that the failure to breach the 200 EMA could be attributed to the broader market sentiment, regulatory concerns, and the ongoing lawsuit between the US Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple. XRP: Weekend Recovery And Regulatory Complexities Over the weekend, XRP exhibited signs of recovery, momentarily soothing investor jitters. Notably, this recovery came in the absence of any new regulatory filings from both the SEC and Ripple regarding their ongoing lawsuit. The lawsuit has played a crucial role in shaping XRP’s price trajectory, causing significant fluctuations based on legal developments. In the initial stages of the SEC-Ripple lawsuit, the SEC categorized XRP as a “digital asset security,” raising concerns about its regulatory status and potential impact on the broader cryptocurrency landscape. However, the regulatory body has since shifted its stance, asserting that digital assets lack inherent value and are merely strings of computer code. This evolving perspective has introduced a layer of complexity to XRP’s regulatory outlook, influencing both investor sentiment and price dynamics. As the XRP market navigates through these regulatory intricacies and attempts to find stable ground, analysts and traders are keeping a close eye on both technical indicators and legal developments. The dynamics between these factors will likely continue to shape XRP’s trajectory in the coming weeks, with the cryptocurrency community closely watching whether it can overcome the hurdles posed by the 200 EMA and regulatory challenges.

Ethereum faces a prolonged bearish trend, testing investor resilience. Analysts warn of potential heavy correction, with $1,000 as key target. The crypto market is currently dominated by bears and one of the leading cryptocurrencies, Ethereum, stands as a testimony to it. ETH has been experiencing a steady downward momentum for an extended period. After briefly reaching $2000 following Ripple’s victory over the SEC in mid-July, the price was hovering in the range of $1845 to $1900 till the end of July. During the first two weeks of August, it ranged between $1750 and $1875. In the past week, the price hit a low of $1552 on August 17, marking the lowest price range since Q2 of the year, with values fluctuating between $1650 and $1698. Looking at the percentile, ETH experienced a decline of 9.66% over the past week and 12.25% over the month. As of now, ETH is priced at $1,662, reflecting a decline of 1.05% in 24H. Despite the current bearish momentum, some investors continue to “HODL,” holding onto their investments. And believing in the longevity of one of the eldest altcoin. This has resulted in a trading volume increase of 24.15% in the past 24h resting at $4 billion. Additionally, the wounded bulls might find solace if the SEC approves Ethereum ETFs. There is optimism in the market about this prospect, as it could potentially uplift the current bearish market sentiment. In contrast, analysts predict a potential risk of a significant price correction for Ethereum. If ETH falls below the $1,600 to $1,550 range, conditions might be ripe for a further decline, potentially reaching a hefty correction of 37% to 45%, with a target of $1,000. Meanwhile, according to the data from Messari, the supply distribution charts indicate that whales, the large holders of Ethereum, have not been offloading their holdings. Instead, they have been increasing their positions. Notably, Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, recently transferred $1 million worth of ETH to Coinbase, with the reasons for this transfer remaining undisclosed. How Long Will the Bearish Momentum Persist? An analysis of Ethereum’s recent price movements reveals a prevailing bearish trend on the daily chart. The short-term 9-day exponential moving average (EMA) is currently situated at $1713, signifying the ongoing bearish sentiment. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 24, indicating that the asset is oversold. Ethereum (ETH) Daily Price Chart (Source: TradingView) If the price continues to decline and drops below $1,626, this would suggest that bears still maintain control. In such a scenario, the ETH/USDT pair might retest the intraday low of $1,550 established on August 17. Conversely, a price rebound from the current level, pushing it above $1,700. It would signal the beginning of a more robust recovery. The initial target could be the 20-day EMA ($1,777), and surpassing this level might propel the pair toward the 50-day SMA ($1,852).

Polygon (MATIC) has entered a phase of consolidation, hovering just above the crucial $0.50 mark. The coin’s recent retracement to June lows has garnered significant attention from bullish investors, even as the broader crypto market remains hounded by uncertainties and price plunges. With the cryptocurrency market experiencing a notable downturn over the past week, Polygon’s native token, MATIC, has not escaped unscathed. The token’s value has witnessed a decline of nearly 19% over the span of seven days, further amplified by a 4% drop in the last 24 hours alone. The current CoinGecko-listed price stands at $0.547. The present state of MATIC at $0.54 marks its lowest valuation this year, with year-to-date lows just shy of the June benchmark of $0.59. The recent downturn is closely linked to the broader market crash, during which Bitcoin suffered a plunge to $26,000, triggering nearly $2 billion in liquidations. Technical Indicators Signal Caution For MATIC Technical indicators echo the prevailing bearish sentiment surrounding MATIC. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) notably retreated to the oversold territory on August 17th and continues to linger there. This persistent oversold condition underscores the ongoing selling pressure that has yet to abate. Similarly, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has maintained a position below zero, indicating a subdued influx of capital. This trend accentuates the bearish outlook for MATIC in the spot market. Navigating The Road Ahead For Polygon Despite its recent dip, MATIC encountered a measure of stabilization at the bullish order block (OB) situated above the $0.50 level. Notably, this level aligns with the June lows, which have historically facilitated successful rebounds upon retesting. This downturn has visibly impacted investors, leading to growing losses in their portfolios. However, the overall strength of Bitcoin—whose performance has been lackluster—might potentially hinder MATIC’s ability to stage a robust recovery. MATIC seven-day price action. Source: CoinMarketCap As the crypto market grapples with its recent setbacks, the fate of MATIC remains entwined with the broader industry trends. Investors are keenly watching for signs of a substantial reversal in MATIC’s fortunes, gauging whether it can successfully break free from the gravitational pull of the current market downtrend. In the midst of this challenging environment, MATIC enthusiasts and market analysts alike are closely monitoring the coin’s technical indicators and its ability to hold above the critical support level of $0.50. Only time will tell whether Polygon’s MATIC can weather the storm and reclaim its upward trajectory. (This site’s content should not be construed as investment advice. Investing involves risk.

Shytoshi Kusama claims that Shibarium is now improved and optimized. New features are being added to Shibarium to make it more scalable. On Tuesday, Shibarium’s primary developer, Shytoshi Kusama, said that the Shibarium was nearing completion of a public reopening. After experiencing extreme blockchain traffic, Shibarium entered a fail-safe mode for testing and adjusting settings. To avoid block creation and other problems, the Shibarium team is increasing the chain’s size by 1500%. New features are being added to Shibarium to make it more scalable, stable, and decentralized. Increased network safety and the ability to stake more BONE tokens are the results of new validators going live. Improved and Optimized Moreover, after two days of testing and fine-tuning settings, chief developer Shytoshi Kusama claims on the official blog posted on August 22 that Shibarium is now improved and optimized. More importantly, the chain is once again making blocks and is about to reopen. Rate limitation at the RPC level and automatic server reset are two of Shibarium’s new fail-safe mechanisms. Shiba Inu team members will also begin using ShibPaper in order to establish an effective management and governance structure. Also, the usefulness of the Shibarium chain will grow as more projects and Dapps are built on top of it, leading to more token burning. On the other hand, after a short halt before the Shibarium mainnet launch, activity on Puppynet resumed, and the network surpassed 32 million total transactions. Post going online, daily transactions immediately increased to above 170,000. Additionally, over 2.1 million blocks have been generated on the testnet. But the number of linked wallets has fallen from over 17 million to a little over 10 million. Highlighted Crypto News Today: Optimism (OP) Defies Downtrend with 5% Rally
 
After the Bitcoin price crash last week, on-chain data reveals a picture that points to a “top-heavy” price. Glassnode’s latest insights shed light on the current market dynamics, where a significant chunk of the BTC spot supply finds itself with a cost basis either near or surpassing the prevailing price. “Here we see that 12.8% (2.48M BTC) of the supply fell into an unrealized loss this week, setting a lower low on this metric. This suggests that ‘top heaviness’ in spot markets may also be a factor in play,” commented Checkmate, Glassnode’s chief analyst. Notably, Long-Term Holders (LTHs) have displayed remarkable resilience in this turbulent period. Their interaction with exchanges remains largely unaltered, with the aggregate balance of LTHs marking a new All-Time High (ATH) this week. In stark contrast, the behavior of Short-Term Holders (STHs) emerges as particularly salient. Checkmate notes, “With LTH supply at ATH, we can also see that STH supply remains at multi-year lows.” The data further underscores this: out of the 2.56M BTC held by STHs, a mere 300k BTC (11.7%) remains in profit, meaning that 88.3% are in loss. This needs to recover quickly, else it adds to the bear case, according to Checkmate. Historical data indicates sharp upticks in STH supply losses following periods characterized as ‘top heavy markets’ – similar to the events observed in May 2021, December 2021, and once again, the last week. Implications For Bitcoin Price The fluctuating dynamics between profits and losses witnessed in the market can be further distilled through the Profit or Loss Bias (dominance) metric. As the 2023 rally unfolded, a discernible shift was noted in the STH cohort’s position: “This week we saw the largest loss dominance reading since the March sell-off to $19.8k. This suggests that the STH cohort are both largely underwater on their holdings, and increasingly price sensitive,” added Checkmate. An intriguing revelation comes from Glassnode’s experimental tool aimed at discerning market inflection points. With a meticulous design that maps macro trends of investors and the prevalence of profitability over losses (and vice versa), this tool offers a nuanced ‘Momentum indicator’. According to Checkmate, “We can see that after several months of declining profit dominance, Loss momentum and dominance have increased meaningfully.” Notably, while false positives have been recorded – as observed in the March 2023 correction – sustained declines have historically been precursors to sharper downtrends. Overall, the Bitcoin price crash on August 17 stands as the most significant single-day decline YTD. The sell-off was primarily a futures market leverage flush out, and is thus primarily a result of short-term positioning and market structure. However, the predominant sentiment is one of caution, largely because the most significant impact has been technical, specifically falling below long-term moving averages, a factor that could sway market sentiment. Long-Term Holders remain stoic, but the spotlight is on the Short-Term Holders. With an overwhelming 88.3% (equivalent to 2.26M BTC) of their supply at an unrealized loss, combined with an uptick in realized losses sent to exchanges and a breach of key technical support, the onus is on the bulls to defend their stance. Checkmate concludes: At press time, the Bitcoin price stood at $26,084.

COLOGNE, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Aviation–The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has awarded the contract to conduct a research project on assessing blockchain technologies for the management of approved aircraft parts and components to FPT Software Europe. The project, named VIRTUA (Digital Transformation – Case Studies for Aviation Safety Standards – Virtualisation), employs an alliance of organisations, including FPT Software, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), SkyThread, and PwC France. It aims to evaluate the blockchain capacity to improve the safety management processes used by aviation authorities, operators, and a variety of industry stakeholders. The project will assess the benefits and constraints of blockchain implementation, considering the different stakeholders involved in the management of aircraft parts and components. It will investigate different types of blockchains and different use cases for their implementation along the lifecycle of approved parts and components. If the benefits are confirmed, the project will assess the main changes to be introduced in regulations, standards, and working processes, as well as the preparation of guidelines and supporting materials for regulatory evolutions and the deployment of the related solutions. “The implementation of blockchain technologies for the management of approved aircraft parts and components could impact the whole lifecycle of certificates, from their issuance by production organizations to the changes introduced by design or maintenance organizations,” said Nick Careen, IATA’s Senior VP Operations, Safety and Security. “We believe that this project will provide a comprehensive vision on how blockchain solutions could contribute to addressing the issue.” “In aviation, the complexities of new technology implementations often result in delayed access to the benefits of innovation.

In a recent development, THORChain (RUNE), the liquidity network, has unveiled its lending feature, enabling users to leverage their native Layer-1 (L1) assets, such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), to secure loans denominated in TOR, a USD equivalent stablecoin. According to the announcement, this move opens up new avenues for financial participation, allowing users to borrow funds without the “burdens” of interest, liquidations, or expiration. THORChain Introduces Interest-Free Loans The lending process is designed to be user-friendly and “straightforward,” focusing on minimizing cognitive burden. Depending on prevailing market conditions, borrowers can collateralize their assets within a range of collateralization ratios (CR), ranging from 200% to 500%. The CR determines the amount of debt borrowers can receive in proportion to their collateral. One of the critical advantages of THORChain’s lending protocol is the absence of interest charges. By eliminating interest, the protocol encourages borrowers to hold onto their loans for extended periods, thereby increasing the equity value of the protocol. This approach aims to align the interests of borrowers with the protocol itself, fostering a mutually beneficial ecosystem. Furthermore, THORChain’s lending system does not involve liquidations. In traditional lending models, borrowers risk having their collateral forcibly sold if its value falls below a certain threshold. However, THORChain’s design eliminates this risk by treating the collateral as equity (RUNE IOU). Consequently, if the collateral falls below the debt value, it does not pose a problem, as the stored equity acts as the liability. Per the report, this approach ensures a more user-friendly experience and eliminates the need for borrowers to monitor asset prices constantly. The loans issued through THORChain’s lending feature have a minimum period of 30 days, providing borrowers with flexibility. Repayment can occur anytime after the initial 30-day period, allowing borrowers to manage their debt according to their circumstances. Partial repayments are also possible, although the collateral is not released until the debt is fully repaid. THORChain’s Circuit Breaker System To enhance security and protect against inflation, THORChain has implemented a circuit breaker mechanism. In the event of a drastic drop in RUNE’s price-native token of the THORchain network- against collateral assets such as BTC and ETH, which could lead to net inflation of RUNE, the system will pause new loans and disable the lending feature. At this point, no further inflation of RUNE can occur, and the protocol’s reserve will cover the remaining collateral payouts. Initially, the lending feature will support BTC and ETH collateral, with plans to expand to other Layer 1 gas assets, including Binance Coin (BNB), Litecoin (LTC), Avalanche (AVAX), and DOGE. According to the announcement, this expansion will further diversify borrowing options, accommodating a broader range of users and assets. Overall, with the introduction of the lending feature, THORChain takes a significant step toward expanding financial opportunities within its liquidity network. As of the latest update, THORChain’s native token, RUNE, has experienced a decline of nearly 8% within the past 24 hours, currently trading at $1.694, despite the anticipation surrounding the announcement of the new lending protocol. Nevertheless, the token has successfully maintained substantial gains of 20% and 80% over the past seven and fourteen days, respectively, attributed to a simultaneous increase in the social volume of the THORChain cryptocurrency.

While most altcoins are looking toward a recovery from the recent market crash, the AVAX price seems to be gearing up for the opposite. The reason behind this is the massive token unlock that is set to occur this week, which will undoubtedly place more sell pressure on the already struggling price of the digital asset. $102 Million In AVAX Set To Be Unlocked The Avalanche network, like a lot of others, has locked a portion of its total token supply to be released into circulation on a periodic basis. Given that these unlock events can put bearish pressure on a token, they can often be a signal to exit. For AVAX, the next token unlock event is set to take place on August 26, five days from now. But the most interesting thing about this event is the number of tokens set to be brought into circulation. According to the token tracking website Token Unlocks, a total of 9.54 million tokens are set to be unlocked on Saturday. This accounts for 2.77% of the total circulating supply of the asset, worth $102.29 million at current prices. The website also shows that the unlocked tokens are being distributed in four allocations. These include 1.13 million tokens ($12.06 million) for airdrop, 1.67 million tokens (17.87 million) for Foundation, 2.25 million tokens ($24.12 million) for strategic partners, and 4.5 million tokens ($48.24 million) for the team. With this unlock, over 55% of the total token supply will be unlocked, leaving less than 45% of the supply locked. And as these 9.54 million tokens make their way to the market, it could be very bad for investors. Will AVAX Price Be Impacted? Given the allocation of the $102 million in tokens set to be unlocked, it is likely that a large chunk of it is going to hit the open market. As a result of such a large amount of selling, the AVAX price will certainly be impacted, making an already bad situation worse. This will likely see the price of the digital asset fall below $10 for the first time since July 2021. Trading in the single-digit will see AVAX holders plunged further into losses, even though the vast majority are already sitting in the red, according to data from IntoTheBlock. AVAX’s indicators are also incredibly bearish at this point with the price sitting below the 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages. This rules out a recovery for the digital asset in the short term, especially with the unlock event coming up. At the time of writing, the AVAX price is sitting tentatively at $10.56, down 13.15% in the last week.
 
The largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Bitcoin (BTC), dropped after a prolonged period of consolidation around the $29,000 mark. The failure to sustain this level has resulted in a decline to $26,000. Interestingly, Bitcoin’s recent reversal has coincided with speculations of an imminent bull run, with many believing that the cryptocurrency winter is over and that lower price levels will not be revisited. Nonetheless, this sentiment shifted on July 14th when the US Dollar Index (DXY) initiated a robust rally, surging from 99 points to its current level of 103. As the DXY began its ascent, Bitcoin’s trajectory turned downward, leading to a downtrend that caused the cryptocurrency to relinquish a significant portion of its 2023 gains. Conversely, before July, BTC experienced a surge to its yearly high of $31,800, while the DXY declined. Despite this development, Glassnode co-founder Yan Allemann suggests that in the coming months, it will be Bitcoin’s turn to reclaim the spotlight and assert its dominance once again. BTC’s Last Consolidation Phase? Glassnode co-founder Yan Allemann has shared insights on the current market conditions and predicts an imminent surge in Bitcoin’s value as the autumn approaches. Allemann’s analysis suggests that the US Dollar is expected to reach a peak level of 106, which will catalyze a prime environment for Bitcoin. Historically, the inverse correlation between the Dollar and Bitcoin has been observed, where a stronger Dollar tends to put downward pressure on the cryptocurrency’s price. Conversely, a peak in the Dollar often coincides with a favorable environment for Bitcoin to thrive. This said, Allemann believes that Bitcoin is projected to reach the $37,000 level before embarking on a significant upward movement during the autumn season. This anticipated surge in value aligns with the patterns observed in previous market cycles, where Bitcoin has experienced notable price rallies during the latter part of the year. It remains to be seen how this narrative unfolds, but one thing is clear: the dynamics between Bitcoin and the US dollar continue to shape the cryptocurrency landscape. Historical Data Reveals September Struggles For Bitcoin According to data by CoinGlass, August, and September have historically presented challenges for Bitcoin, making them notorious months for the cryptocurrency’s performance. With 10 days remaining until the monthly close, August has already proven to be a difficult month for Bitcoin, experiencing a 12% decline over the past 30 days. However, this downtrend may not come to a halt just yet, as historical data indicates that September could pose additional obstacles to Bitcoin’s price trajectory. Examining the chart above, it becomes evident that September has historically been a challenging period for Bitcoin. In some instances, the cryptocurrency has witnessed substantial price drops, reaching as high as 19%. This suggests that the coming month could potentially be characterized by further downward pressure on Bitcoin’s price. However, it is important to note that historical trends also indicate the possibility of more modest declines. In 2013, for example, Bitcoin’s price only decreased by 1% during September, defying the broader negative sentiment associated with the month. This demonstrates that while September has a historical reputation for difficulty, it does not guarantee a significant downturn for Bitcoin in every instance. While Bitcoin has faced headwinds in August and historically in September, it is worth remembering that the cryptocurrency has demonstrated resilience and the ability to recover from downturns in the past. Market conditions, macroeconomic factors, and regulatory developments can all contribute to the price fluctuations of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) token has witnessed high-value transactions again, leading to intrigue among its community. As significant amounts of SHIB change hands, many wonder if these moves signal a forthcoming positive shift in its market position or a rebound, as the asset is currently in a downtrend. Whale Alert, a renowned blockchain tracking platform, disclosed that a transaction of 4.65 trillion SHIB tokens, equating to approximately $38.39 million, moved from Bitvavo to an unidentified wallet. High-Value Transactions Coincide With Shibarium’s Developments It’s worth noting that this isn’t an isolated event. A similar transaction occurred just a day prior, where an almost equivalent amount of 4.6 trillion SHIB tokens (around $38.70 million) was transferred from one undisclosed wallet to another. These high-value transfers correlate with the start of Shibarium, the Ethereum-based layer-2 blockchain, which has been the cause of a spike in SHIB transactions. The surging activity, especially after introducing the Shibarium blockchain, naturally raised eyebrows within the Shiba Inu community. To address rising concerns about the safety of assets, the Shiba Inu team came forward in its “All Is Well” blog post, offering clarity on the technical issues, and emphasizing the security of the users’ assets. SHIB Rebound On The Horizon? While it’s undeniable that there may be growing attention on Shiba Inu, especially after these whale activities and the Shibarium blockchain’s developments. It may be too soon to forecast the exact trajectory SHIB will take. However, analyzing the Shiba Inu price chart suggests there could be a potential rebound, though it might not be imminent. On the 4-hour chart, Shiba Inu displays a pronounced downward wick. This indicates the presence of more liquidity in this downside range, which could suggest further decline as market makers may seek to capture this liquidity. To clarify, a wick refers to the thin line/vertical line above or below the main body of a candlestick. The wick represents an asset’s highest and lowest prices during a specific time frame, such as the candle marked above. Regardless of the above analysis, significant whale purchases highlight the commitment of Shiba Inu’s investors. Such activities underscore their interest in adding to their SHIB holdings. This growing attention on SHIB is especially noteworthy given its recent Shibarium project launch. Featured image from Unsplash, Chart from TradingView
 
Bitcoin price just experienced one of its fastest and sharpest corrections in over a year, dropping 10% in a matter of minutes. The mass liquidations and panic from the selloff caused BTCUSD daily charts to reach the most oversold level since the COVID crash in early 2020. BTC Panic-Selling Reaches Extremes Not Seen Since COVID Crash As much as people try to fight it, investing and trading is an emotion-driven process. Few emotions cause humans to take action more urgently than those associated with fear and panic. This is precisely why selloffs tend to be sharper and scarier than bull markets. “Bulls take the stairs, bears ride the elevator” is just one adage that symbolizes this noted market behavior. For example, the COVID collapse in March 2020 took only a matter of days to erase 70% of Bitcoin’s price. This instance was the last time the Relative Strength Index technical indicator on the daily timeframe became this oversold. After Bitcoin’s recently drop this week, the daily RSI is back at a similar extreme for the first time in more than three years. What isn’t clear quite yet, is if the extreme represents another ideal buying opportunity, or if this is the onset of a deeper decline. Bitcoin Daily RSI Plunges To Most Oversold Level Since 2020 The Relative Strength Index is a momentum indicator that tells investors and traders when an asset is overbought and oversold on a relative basis. When the tool reaches extremes above 70 or below 30, it can present an opportunity to buy or sell. The RSI is now lower than the LUNA or FTX collapse, or at any point since March 2020. During especially strong moves, however, the RSI can remain elevated for extended phases despite reaching such overheated readings. Such was the case in December 2018, the previous instance of the daily Bitcoin RSI reaching such a low. In that case, the RSI stayed hot for two full weeks, cutting down BTCUSD price by another 40% before it was all said and done. A 40% correction in Bitcoin would take prices back to the November 2022 bottom. If Bitcoin instead rebounds and reacts more akin to 2020, new all-time highs could be just months away. If not, a deeper reset is possible.
