Bitcoin One-Month RSI Hits Most Oversold Reading Ever Recorded in Asset's History
"1-month RSI on Bitcoin, the most oversold ever, ever, ever. The two closest readings before this, $180 in 2015, $15K in 2022. Not far off at the bottom of the 2018 bear market either."
About this episode
Cryptocurrency analyst Lark Davis examines mounting evidence that Bitcoin may be forming a major market bottom after historic June outflows from ETFs. The episode focuses on Bitcoin ETFs recording their first significant inflow of $221 million after weeks of bleeding, while Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs also saw positive flows. Most dramatically, Bitcoin whales accumulated a record 270,000 coins during the recent dip below $60,000, surpassing the 150,000 coins bought at the COVID bottom and 180,000 at the FTX crash, marking the largest whale accumulation event in Bitcoin's history. Davis presents multiple technical indicators suggesting extreme oversold conditions, including Bitcoin's one-month RSI reaching its most oversold reading ever recorded, surpassing even the lows of $180 in 2015 and $15,000 in 2022. Other signals include weekly RSI bullish divergence, the 200-week moving average support, and the Insilico Lilletic indicator flashing its green signal for the first time since the exact FTX crash bottom in November 2022. The episode also covers traditional market movements, including Michael Burry's new short position on Micron Technology and the memory sector experiencing significant corrections with Micron and SanDisk both dropping 17-18%. Davis discusses the Korean KOSPI index dumping 7.9% and approaching bear market territory, while noting capital rotation may be shifting back into crypto. He reviews active trading positions on Bitcoin, Jupiter, and Solana, and examines altcoin opportunities including Polygon flipping Base for stablecoin swap volume despite its depressed price. Davis emphasizes the risk-reward setup favors accumulation despite consensus predictions for further downside to $40,000 in October.
