BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.
Bitcoin update
Bitcoin (BTC) is starting off the week in the green and is currently trading for $58,517. Last week, BTC continued to add on to its bullish momentum, closing the week at a price of $58,340. While the price action appears to be bullish for the time being, BTC still needs to close over $60,000 if the price is to move much higher.
The RSI is currently at 65 and is showing a bullish divergence building. However, if BTC fails to move higher, it could first fall to the weekly range support near $55,700. Below that, there is a strong horizontal support level between $42,000 and $43,000 (purple range).
