Bitcoin price had previously been showing extreme strength leading up until the debut of the first spot ETFs. That strength has since subsided, leading to a 20% correction in BTCUSD.<\/p>\n
A popular technical indicator that measures momentum, however, could point to powerful continuation to the upside, but only if a certain level is breached. Keep reading to learn more about the Relative Strength Index and how the top cryptocurrency behaves once the market reaches an \u201coverbought\u201d level.<\/p>\n
The Relative Strength Index<\/a> is a momentum-measuring tool that signals when a market is \u201coverbought\u201d or \u201coversold\u201d. When a financial asset reaches such conditions, it often means the trend is about to change.<\/p>\n In Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the weekly RSI is often a signal that the asset is moving into its most powerful phase. For example, Bitcoin made it above a reading of 70 in October 2023, and only weeks later saw an over 60% rally to local 2024 highs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now 1W BTCUSD charts are showing an RSI reading of just below 70, pointing to a possible close back above the overbought level. If bulls can keep the top cryptocurrency by market cap above $43,650, the weekly RSI should close above the threshold.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Historical data could possibly shed some light on what might happen if the weekly Relative Strength Index<\/a> gets the close above 70 as anticipated.<\/p>\n Over the last ten years, Bitcoin saw a 1W RSI close above 70 a total of 13 times. This happened 8 times in 2016 and 2017, twice in 2019, and once each in 2020 and 2021. One additional instance occurred in 2023.<\/p>\nThe average move is 107% | BTCUSD on TradingView.com<\/a><\/pre>\n
