Bitcoin RSI divergence primes traders for new lows
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD attempting to reclaim $105,000 into the weekly close.
Sustained downside throughout the week brought Bitcoin back into contact with significant support levels from earlier in the bull market.
Chief among these was the local top from Dec. 17, 2024 at around $104,450.
Commenting, popular trader Matthew Hyland described the weekly close level as “pivotal.”

Hyland uploaded a chart showing a bearish divergence between price and the relative strength index (RSI) on weekly timeframes.
RSI is a classic trend strength indicator, which measures momentum at given price points.
Continuing, fellow trader Titan of Crypto warned that the divergence could have wider implications for bulls.
“A potential RSI bearish divergence is forming on the weekly chart. Still unconfirmed but worth watching,” he told X followers on May 31.
An accompanying chart referenced so-called fair value gaps (FVGs) as measured by Fibonacci retracement levels, these showing imbalances between buyers and sellers as price ascended to its current area.
Two FVG zones of interest were at $97,000 and $90,000.
“After a +50% run, a cooldown wouldn’t be a bad thing. Healthy market structure matters,” Titan of Crypto acknowledged.
BTC price uptrend “intact”
Based on order book liquidity data, trader CrypNuevo suggested the $100,000 could function as a price magnet should the market fall further.

“It’s a strong psychological level and liquidity tends to stack in these levels. Potential retest of this level first,” part of an X thread read on the day.
CrypNuevo maintained faith in the overall bullish market structure despite BTC/USD dropping 8% over the past week.
“So I think we’ll probably drop to $100k and play around there for some days – even a slight temporary drop below it to shake the market would make sense.,” he concluded.
“But in the big picture, we have the bull market support at $84k catching up to price; uptrend is intact; liquidity is above.”
