Another bit of a nothing day for bitcoin.. still struggling around the MR line… next touch on resistance will be a 4th touch of the downtrend so a retest and breakout fits with what Im looking for, he summarized to Telegram channel subscribers alongside an annotated chart.

We havent lost the MR line & found resistance there, but Im expecting the next move to happen in the next 48 hours.

Others highlighted Bitcoins relative strength index (RSI) now being above 70 a classic prelude to an incoming extended rally.

As Cointelegraph reported, RSI levels are being keenly watched to determine both a breakout and an ideal market exit opportunity.
