What This Chart Shows
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is the best-known momentum oscillator in markets. It compares the size of Bitcoin's recent up-moves to its recent down-moves and scales the result from 0 to 100. This chart computes the 14-period RSI on weekly closes, so it reads the higher-timeframe momentum regime instead of the noisy day-to-day version.
- Price sits in the top panel on a log scale. Weeks where the RSI closed overbought (70+) are marked with translucent red dots; oversold (30 or below) weeks are marked green.
- RSI-14 (weekly) runs in the lower panel, bounded 0–100, with dashed guide lines at 70 and 30.
How to Read It
Above 70 the weekly momentum is hot; below 30 it is washed out. But RSI is a momentum gauge, not a timer: in strong Bitcoin bull markets the weekly RSI can stay pinned in overbought territory for months, and the red dots cluster through entire uptrends rather than marking the exact top. The green oversold dots are far rarer and have historically clustered near major bear-market lows. Read it for how stretched momentum is, alongside trend and on-chain context.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bitcoin weekly RSI-14?
It is the 14-period Relative Strength Index calculated on weekly closing prices. RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and measures momentum; on the weekly timeframe it captures Bitcoin's multi-week swings rather than daily noise. Above 70 is overbought, below 30 is oversold.
Why weekly instead of daily RSI?
Daily RSI whipsaws constantly and gives far more false signals. Weekly RSI smooths that out and aligns much better with Bitcoin's months-long trend swings and cycle turns.
Is a high RSI a sell signal?
No. In strong uptrends the weekly RSI can stay overbought for a long time. It is best used as a measure of how stretched momentum is, in combination with other signals, not as a standalone trigger.
