Bitcoin is the third most oversold ever, says one indicator, and violent upside could be next

What to know:
Bitcoin's RSI has fallen to 17 amid the panic selling of the past few weeks.
That sort of oversold reading has only been exceeded twice in bitcoin's modern history — the 2018 bear market bottom and the 2020 Covid crash.
On each of those occasions, BTC rewarded investor with multi-bagger moves in the months that followed.
Bitcoin tumbled to around $65,000 on Thursday amid a wave of liquidations driven by heavily bearish sentiment, but one technical indicator suggests the cryptocurrency could be set for not just a bounce, but a major move higher.
Bitcoin's daily Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is a popularly used momentum oscillator that assesses whether an asset is oversold or overbought, flashed 17.6 (on a scale of 0-100) on Thursday — heavily oversold conditions that were topped in the modern BTC era by the Covid crash in 2020, when it fell to 15.6, and the 2018 market bottom, when it dropped to 9.5.

On both of those previous occasions, bitcoin rewarded buyers with violent upside moves. In 2018, BTC more than quadrupled over the ensuing 8 months from $3,150 to $13,800. In 2020, bitcoin soared from $3,900 to a cycle high of $65,000 just more than one year later.
Thursday's market carnage liquidated more than $1.5 billion across crypto derivatives. While the temptation might be to sell when an asset is weak, astute traders will see the oversold territories as an opportunity — especially as liquidity between $70,000 and $80,000 has effectively been wiped out.

Analyst points to the 200-day moving average — currently around $58,000 to $60,000 — as a potential support level to watch.
What to know:
Bitcoin tumbled more than 10% over the past 24 hours, dropping below $66,000 and heading for its steepest one-day decline since the FTX-driven crash in November 2022.
The sell-off extended beyond crypto, with silver plunging 15% and gold sliding more than 2%, while software stocks and major U.S. equity indexes also fell.
One analyst warned there is still no clear bottom for bitcoin, highlighting the $58,000 to $60,000 range as key support, as altcoins such as XRP suffer even sharper losses.

There are also other community-mentioned tokens like HBAR, XCN, Monero (XMR), SUI, etc., but interest and risk vary. �

⚠️ Important Things to Know Before Buying
Huge ups AND downs: Tokens with big “potential,” especially presale or meme coins, can lose most or all value.
Do research: Look up the project team, use case, wallets holding the token, and exchange listings.
Diversify: Putting all money into one token is riskier than spreading across a few.
Only invest what you can afford to lose. �
