📈 RSI: the technical indicator that every trader should understand
When someone starts in cryptocurrency trading, one of the first concepts that comes up is the RSI (Relative Strength Index). Although it sounds technical, it is actually one of the simplest and most useful indicators for interpreting price behavior.
🔍 What is the RSI?
It is a technical indicator that measures the strength and speed of price movements. It is represented on a scale of 0 to 100 and helps to answer a key question: 👉 Is the asset overbought or oversold?
⚖️ How to interpret it
The most commonly used levels are:
RSI over 70 → overbought zone The price has risen strongly and a correction could occur.
RSI under 30 → oversold zone The price has fallen significantly and a bounce could appear.
These levels are not automatic signals, but context alerts.
🧠 A common mistake
One of the most frequent mistakes is using the RSI in isolation.
In strongly trending markets: -The RSI can remain above 70 for quite a while -Or below 30 without the price bouncing immediately
That’s why it is recommended to combine it with: 👍General trend 👍Support and resistance 👍Volume
🔄 Divergences: the most interesting signal
The RSI also allows identifying divergences, which can anticipate changes in the market:
💥Bullish divergence: The price marks lower lows, but the RSI marks higher lows → possible loss of bearish strength. 💥Bearish divergence: The price marks higher highs, but the RSI marks lower highs → possible exhaustion of bullish momentum.
📌The RSI does not predict price, but helps to understand market behavior.
When used correctly, it allows:
👍Avoid impulsive entries 👍Detect risk zones 👍Improve decision-making Like any technical indicator, its greatest value lies in how it is integrated into a strategy, not just

Bitcoin's Value Against Gold Reaches Key Support Level
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin (BTC) has reached a significant juncture against gold, as it tests a crucial support level. The cryptocurrency's value has dropped to 20 ounces of gold, a level not seen since early 2024. This development marks a critical point between bullish and bearish market conditions, as noted by analysts.
Crypto trader and analyst Michaël van de Poppe recently shared insights suggesting potential upward movement for Bitcoin. Despite Bitcoin's struggles in gold terms, with the precious metal maintaining near-record highs amid a fourth-quarter crypto market correction, Van de Poppe sees opportunity. He highlighted that historically, when Bitcoin and gold hit their lows simultaneously, it signaled a market shift. Van de Poppe believes gold is currently overvalued, while Bitcoin is undervalued, indicating a potential bullish divergence at this support level.
Historical data shows that during each Bitcoin bear cycle, the weekly relative strength index (RSI) dropping below 30 has marked a long-term bottom for the BTC/XAU pair. Van de Poppe noted that the daily RSI is beginning to show a bullish divergence, suggesting short-term upside potential. However, the weekly RSI remains low at 29.5, levels not seen in nearly three years.
Wealthmanager, a trading and commentary account, emphasized the importance of the 20-ounce support level, noting that Bitcoin's last bear market began when this support was lost. They anticipate a period of consolidation at this level, with a potential break in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, crypto trader Ted Pillows observed the loss of a three-year uptrend for Bitcoin against gold, marking a challenging end to 2025 for the cryptocurrency.

💥Recently (beginning of December 2025), #SOL rebounded strongly: it closed a session with a rise of 9.5%, increasing from USD $126.47 to USD $138.59. This suggests that the support at USD $125–126 remains valid and that there could be a trend reversal. 💥Many analysts agree on a conservative range for the upcoming months: between USD $132 – USD $141. 💥But there are also optimistic scenarios: considering on-chain growth, institutional adoption, ETFs, and a rebound of the ecosystem, some studies raise higher ranges: USD $147 – USD $216 by the end of the year.
