Bitcoin RSI: All eyes on higher low
New analysis covering relative strength index (RSI) data on BTC/USD concludes it could soon be “time to pay attention.” Bitcoin bear-market bottoms often follow the start of a bullish divergence with RSI on weekly time frames. For trader Jelle, current market behavior is following historical trends, and Bitcoin’s next inflection point may be around the corner.
“When $BTC’s weekly RSI makes a higher low again, it’s time to pay attention,” he wrote on X.
A classic bullish divergence locks in when RSI makes a higher low while price makes lower lows. Jelle, however, says that price has room to maneuver and still preserve the emerging recovery.
“Doesn’t matter if BTC makes a higher low, equal low, or lower low,” he continued. “When RSI starts moving higher again, the bottom is very close – or already in.”

BTC price bear flag still in play
RSI last flipped bullish at the end of Bitcoin’s 2022 bear market, and its signals preceded a period of upside that continued for over a year. At the time, talk also focused on reclaiming the 200-week exponential moving average (EMA) as support, something that occurred in March 2023. As Cointelegraph reported, the 200-week EMA was only lost again last month, with analysis calling the trend line “unreliable.”
