    • The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart reached extreme overbought levels over the weekend as bitcoin rallied.  Overbought conditions typically precede price declines as buyers take profits.

    • Although the intermediate-term downtrend is improving, bitcoin remains in a consolidation phase between $30,000 and $40,000, which suggests buyers and sellers are in a stalemate despite occasional rallies and selloffs.
