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

Bitcoin's RSI has only been lower on two previous occasions (TradingView)

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.

Microsoft Corp. $MSFT blue box area offers a buying opportunity

The post Microsoft Corp. $MSFT blue box area offers a buying opportunity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In today’s article, we’ll examine the recent performance of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory. We’ll review how the rally from the April 07, 2025 low unfolded as a 5-wave impulse followed by a 3-swing correction (ABC) and discuss our forecast for the next move. Let’s dive into the structure and expectations for this stock. Five wave impulse structure + ABC + WXY correction $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 9.04.2025 In the 8-hour Elliott Wave count from Sep 04, 2025, we saw that $MSFT completed a 5-wave impulsive cycle at red III. As expected, this initial wave prompted a pullback. We anticipated this pullback to unfold in 3 swings and find buyers in the equal legs area between $497.02 and $471.06 This setup aligns with a typical Elliott Wave correction pattern (ABC), in which the market pauses briefly before resuming its primary trend. $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 7.14.2025 The update, 10 days later, shows the stock finding support from the equal legs area as predicted allowing traders to get risk free. The stock is expected to bounce towards 525 – 532 before deciding if the bounce is a connector or the next leg higher. A break into new ATHs will confirm the latter and can see it trade higher towards 570 – 593 area. Until then, traders should get risk free and protect their capital in case of a WXY double correction. Conclusion In conclusion, our Elliott Wave analysis of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) suggested that it remains supported against April 07, 2025 lows and bounce from the blue box area. In the meantime, keep an eye out for any corrective pullbacks that may offer entry opportunities. By applying Elliott Wave Theory, traders can better anticipate the structure of upcoming moves and enhance risk management in volatile markets.
