RSI sees “bullish engulfing”
BTC/USD reversing to local lows of $55,920 on Bitstamp overnight.
The pair then recovered to circle $56,500 at the time of writing, with analysts keeping the faith on higher timeframe strength.
Popular Twitter personality TechDev noted that Bitcoin’s stochastic relative strength index (Stoch RSI) had “reset” to levels that echo BTC/USD at $44,000 — just before the run that culminated in all-time highs.
“Bullish engulfing printed on stoch RSI cross with RSI reset to 44K levels,” he summarized alongside the three-day chart.
Bitcoin’s late strength Monday coincided with a return to form for macro markets and news that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey had quit the company to focus entirely on Bitcoin activities.
While $60,000 remained out of reach of bulls, signs of a marked shift in sentiment were everywhere.
“Bitcoin high timeframe structure is bullish. Cycle awareness is key,” TechDev added in a separate post.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, days ago in “extreme fear” territory, looked set to enter its “neutral” zone with a score of 40/100 Tuesday.
To signify that the corrective phase is ended, the bulls must push the price above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) ($60,805). The rally might then test the overhead resistance zone between $67,000 and $69,000. If the market falls drastically from the 20-day EMA, the bears will attempt to break through the solid support at the 100-day SMA ($54,184). If this occurs, the BTC/USDT pair may fall to the psychologically important level of $50,000.
