- Buyers are losing strength as upside momentum slows. The relative strength index (RSI) on the hourly chart registered lower highs despite the breakout above $61,000 on Tuesday.
- Overbought signals on the RSI typically result in brief pullbacks, such as the 5% drop in BTC back on March 10.
- The RSI is not yet oversold, although support near the 200-period moving average on the hourly chart could attract buyers.
- The recent all-time high around $64,800 is now resistance; buyers will need to push past this level to resume the long-term uptrend.
- Wednesday's re-test of the $61,000 breakout level is constructive and suggests selling pressure will remain limited over the short-term.
