Find some bid here at support, and we can go for another test of the major resistance level,” popular trader Jelle added<\/a> in part of the day’s social media analysis.<\/p>\n The RSI “reset” took the daily metric to levels last seen in mid-June, when BTC\/USD still traded at around $26,000.<\/p>\n Continuing on the RSI theme, Scott Melker, the popular trader and podcast host known as “The Wolf of All Streets,” saw $28,600 as a likely comedown target. <\/p>\n Related: Bitcoin price is ‘stuck’ at $30K \u2014 Here are 3 reasons why<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “The daily chart showed a massive overbought bearish divergence, my favorite top signal,” he said in part of a Twitter thread<\/a> on July 17.<\/p>\n “This built up for multiple divergences and has not been invalidated. Usually this pushed RSI back to oversold. Half way there so far.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Melker added that “at the very least” a rematch with Bitcoin’s range lows should occur, but was uncertain as to whether this would be sufficient for a local floor.<\/p>\n “My bias is still for a test of $28,600 as support, which was the low of the entire bull run of 2021, basically. My last buy was a similar test of $25,212, which took patience,” he concluded.<\/p>\nBTC price: Heavy resistance risks weekly downtrend<\/h2>\n
