Bitcoin Technical Analysis

The Bollinger Band's upper limit is at $87,414, and the lower limit is at $77,949. Breaking through the upper band indicates an overbought state with potential for adjustment (decline), while falling below the lower band suggests an oversold state with potential for a rebound.
Bitcoin is trading at $84,888, up 0.70% from the previous day. Staying near the band's upper limit suggests a short-term overheating possibility.
Breaking through the upper limit could be a trend-strengthening signal, but a pullback could also create short-term adjustment pressure. With a wide band width, it is interpreted as entering a period of expanded volatility.
The 20-day moving average, which determines the strength and direction of the trend through the average price over a certain period, is currently located at $82,681.
The current price is above the 20-day moving average, maintaining a basic upward trend. The trend line is likely to serve as a support line, and a short-term suppression could be valid from a buying perspective. However, a deviation must also consider the possibility of trend slowdown.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index), which measures the strength of price increases and decreases, dropped from 45.65 the previous day to 43.3. While remaining in the trend continuation section, the buying momentum appears somewhat weakened.
It is not in the oversold section but is closer to a wait-and-see attitude. The lower value compared to the previous day suggests a weakening of energy.
An RSI above 70 indicates an overbought state with an increased possibility of adjustment (decline), while an RSI below 30 indicates an oversold state with an increased possibility of a rebound.
