Uptrend, momentum cooling near highs · RSI 62 · price 80,568.27
Higher highs and higher lows since mid-March, pausing below 82.7k.
BTCUSD remains in a multi-month uptrend, with price above a rising EMA(50) since the late-March breakout through 73k and an extension that printed an 82.7k high last week. The last five sessions have stalled into a tight consolidation between 79k and 82.7k after the rejection from 82.7k, with buyers repeatedly defending the 79k repair zone. RSI has cooled from overbought into the low-60s as the daily range compresses.
What it said to watch
- Daily close above the 82.7k cap would extend the uptrend
- Loss of the 79k repair zone opens a retest of 76.4k prior swing
- US April CPI release this week could disrupt the consolidation
