Bitcoin's RSI is sending a powerful signal worth paying attention to.

Take a step back from the market noise and focus on what the data actually shows:

• Momentum has completely washed out
• RSI is hitting levels we've only seen at previous cycle bottoms
• Volatility has collapsed even as price stabilized

Here's the thing—this specific combination of indicators has historically only appeared at cycle lows, never at market tops. When you see momentum fully exhausted, RSI touching those historical floor levels, and volatility compression happening simultaneously, it's telling you something.

The pattern is there. Whether this marks a genuine inflection point depends on what happens next, but the technical setup is undeniably worth monitoring for anyone tracking Bitcoin's longer-term cycle.

Momentum is dead, RSI hits bottom, volatility compresses... The nice way to say it is a bottom signal, the harsh way is waiting for a rebound. The key is to see how the next few days unfold; indicators alone are not enough.

Hmm... Another bottom signal, is this one real this time? --- I've heard the RSI explanation too many times, every time claiming a reversal, but what happened? --- Momentum fading + volatility compression sounds impressive, but in reality... we need to see how it closes this week. --- The indicator combination at the cycle bottom is indeed rare, but I prefer to see the breakout moment before believing. --- Starting to use this "worth monitoring" routine again, just wake me up after the breakout. --- Has it only appeared at the bottom historically? That's not enough; volume needs to confirm as well. --- After compression, volume should pick up, but the question is, will it go up or down... --- All technical signals point to a bottom, but what about on-chain data? Feels a bit one-sided. --- The term "momentum exhausted"... I only believe in the price.

Momentum disappears, RSI hits bottom, volatility compresses... This combination is indeed quite interesting. Historically, it has only appeared at the bottom and has never fooled people at the top. But to be fair, could this be another "wolf is coming" situation? Let's wait and see the subsequent breakout; I feel the real test is still ahead.

Momentum is gone, RSI is at the bottom, and volatility is shrinking... Hmm, this combination is quite interesting. I've really never seen it at the top in history. Wait and see if the next move confirms a real reversal, but indeed, it's time to keep a close eye.

Momentum exhaustion combined with RSI bottom compression... This combination indeed has never appeared at the top; the data is right here. The key is to hold tight and wait for confirmation, don't be scared off by fluctuations.

Bottom signal pile-up, whether it's real or not this time depends on the subsequent trend.

Damn, this RSI signal really can't hold up anymore; the bottom characteristics are too obvious.
