  • The relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart is overbought for the second time since July 31, which preceded a near 10% price decline.

  • However, the weekly RSI is rising from neutral levels with a positive momentum signal for the first time since October 2020, which reignited the long-term uptrend.

  • Buyers could remain active on pullbacks this week as bitcoin cleared important technical levels such as the 100-day moving average.
