- The 100-period moving average on the four-hour chart continues to cap upside moves. That suggests buyers are losing strength after failing to sustain a breakout above $50,000 resistance earlier this month.
- The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is neutral after reaching overbought levels last week, which preceded a brief 14% price bounce.
- On the hourly chart, the RSI is the most oversold since Sunday, suggesting intraday buyers could remain active, albeit briefly toward $43,000-$45,000 resistance.
- And on the weekly chart, upside momentum has slowed over the past two months, indicating a weaker uptrend as price increases remain limited.
