The <span>relative strength index<\/span> ( <span>RSI<\/span>) reads 52, the Stochastic reads 61, the commodity channel index (CCI) reads 63, and the average directional index (ADX) reads 24, all neutral.<\/p>\n<p>Three indicators tilt <span>bullish<\/span>: the Awesome oscillator (AO) sits at 1,308, the momentum indicator (MOM) sits at 1,664 and the <span>moving average convergence divergence<\/span> ( <span>MACD<\/span>) level reads 118. The split between neutral and <span>bullish<\/span> oscillator readings mirrors the price chart itself, a market building energy inside a range rather than trending hard in either direction.<\/p>\n<h2>Moving Averages Send Mixed Signals<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/unveiling-moving-averages-essential-tools-for-bitcoin-trading\/\">Moving averages (MAs)<\/a> send a mixed message depending on the timeframe. Short-term averages favor buyers: the 10-period exponential moving average (EMA) sits at $63,712, the 10-period simple moving average (SMA) sits at $63,835, and the 20-period, 30-period, and 50-period SMAs all read <span>bullish<\/span> as well.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"bitcoin market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Longer-term averages tell a different story.

The 100-period and 200-period EMAs sit as high as $74,189, well above the current $63,969 price, and the 100-period and 200-period SMAs read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bull-market-vs-bear-market\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bearish<\/a> as well. Daily <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-trading-volume\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volume<\/a> has moderated rather than expanded, a sign that buyers have not committed to a breakout.
