Bitcoin daily price chart (CoinDesk, TradingView)

Bitcoin is stabilizing around the 200-day moving average at $46,000 after a sharp sell-off on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency is down about 8% over the past 24 hours, with sellers in control of the $50,000 resistance zone.

Upside momentum has slowed over the past month, although buyers were able to defend support around the $42,000 breakout level achieved Aug. 6. Buying could be limited, however, as overhead resistance remains strong around the $55,000-$60,000 range.

  • The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is the most oversold since the August 6 breakout above $42,000. This could encourage buyers to return around current support levels.
  • However, upside appears to be limited as the RSI on the daily chart is declining from overbought levels last month.
  • A lower price high from April is likely as volatility returns this month, limiting buyer strength in the aftermath of Tuesday’s selloff.

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.

What to know:

  • Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
  • Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
  • Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
