Bitcoin is roughly flat over the past 24 hours as upside momentum wanes over the short term. The cryptocurrency was trading at around $47,000 at press time, and support is nearby at about $46,000.

There is strong resistance near $50,000, which can limit upside moves. Buyers, however, will likely defend lower support levels as BTC consolidates.

  • The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is declining from overbought levels reached on Wednesday. That could encourage brief selling toward $46,000 support.
  • The RSI on the daily chart is around neutral levels, indicating that a period of price consolidation could persist at around the 200-day moving average of $45,800.
  • Upside momentum is slowing on intraday charts, but improving on the daily and weekly charts, which suggests pullbacks could be limited.
