RSI Indicator

The RSI, or Relative strength index is a great instrument to check the momentum of the market. RSI of the BTC/USD pair has gone down to almost the 0 level and it is looking to bounce back. The RSI usually ranges between 20 and 80. When the RSI drops down below 20 and then crosses back over 20, this is usually a strong buy signal. Vice Versa, when the RSI crosses above 80, it usually means that the asset is overbought. AS with all TA (Technical Analyses), one can not only rely on one indicator by itself.

However, the current scenario shows that the market looks like it is going to recover soon. There is strong resistance at 33,802 USD. Anyone looking for entry may put their buy order near the support point of 26,550 USD. If this plays out, the new BTC range will be between 26,500 USD and 33,800 USD.
