Bitcoin retests macro trend line as RSI prints rare oversold signal

Both BTC and ETH are sitting at multi-year falling trend lines and on RSI levels last seen at the 2018 and March 2020 cycle lows, a setup the analyst frames as either a macro reversal trigger or the…

Bitcoin is once again pressing against the multi-year descending trend line that extends back to the October 2025 swing high, with the 3-day chart showing the asset right at the level a prior May rally failed to clear. The analyst flags that the 3-day candle currently in play is structurally analogous to the breakout setup Bitcoin formed at the start of the 2021 bull market: a long-term falling trend line that, once reclaimed and held, marked the transition into macro expansion.

On the daily chart, the RSI oscillator has just printed a level Bitcoin has only touched twice before in its history, the March 2020 COVID swing low and the late-2018 bear market bottom, and has done so twice within roughly four months. That sustained, repeated oversold reading is what the analyst calls "insanely suppressed" rather than routine, and similar 3-day oversold prints occurred in 2011, 2014 and 2018, each preceding a major cycle bottom.

Why it matters

The combination of a multi-year trend line test and a historically rare RSI reading is what the analyst is anchoring the call around. Either scenario, a confirmed breakout or a clean rejection, would resolve months of compression and set the directional tone for the rest of the year. The asymmetry the analyst highlights is in time and patience: a breakout to the upside requires Bitcoin to first reclaim the trend line, then flip the 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 3-day from resistance into support, and ultimately break and hold the 200-day moving average. A failure, by contrast, opens a downside path to test the prior swing low near $57,000 and, on a deeper flush, the $50,000 zone.

Market impact

Upside targets cluster around $67,000 (the 50-period on the 3-day), $70,000 (the 50 on the 3-day) and, most importantly, $74,000 where the 200-day sits. A clean break and hold above that band is the analyst's defined "macro bull reversal" trigger for Bitcoin, mirroring the 2022 base where moving averages flipped from resistance to support and rolled over into an uptrend. Downside invalidation starts at $57,000 and extends to roughly $50,000, a level the analyst frames as an "incredible opportunity zone" for long-term accumulation rather than a structural break.

On Ethereum, the same framework applies but through the ETHBTC pair. The analyst is watching whether ETHBTC can break above the descending trend line that runs back to the August 2025 swing high, which would be the rotation signal out of BTC dominance and into an Ethereum-led phase.

Frequently asked questions

  1. What trend line is Bitcoin currently testing?

    Bitcoin is pressing against the multi-year descending trend line that runs from the October 2025 swing high, the same level a prior May rally failed to clear and that the analyst compares to the breakout setup at the start of the 2021 bull cycle.

  2. Why is the current RSI reading on Bitcoin considered significant?

    The daily RSI has touched a zone Bitcoin has only hit twice in its history, the March 2020 COVID swing low and the late-2018 bear market bottom, and has done so twice within roughly four months. Comparable 3-day oversold prints in 2011, 2014 and 2018 each preceded a major cycle bottom.

  3. What price levels would confirm a macro bull reversal for Bitcoin?

    Reclaiming the trend line, flipping the 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 3-day from resistance into support, and ultimately breaking and holding the 200-day moving average near $74,000 are the stacked confirmations the analyst defines as the macro reversal trigger.

  4. Where are the downside targets if Bitcoin fails at the trend line?

    The first downside reference is the prior swing low near $57,000. A failure there opens a flush toward $50,000, a level framed as an accumulation opportunity rather than a structural break.

  5. What would trigger an Ethereum rotation out of Bitcoin dominance?

    A break of the falling trend line on the ETHBTC pair that runs back to the August 2025 swing high is the defined rotation signal. On a confirmed upside break, ETH-specific targets are $2,200 to $2,300, with $1,200 as the downside flush level if BTC slides toward $50,000.
