Bitcoin Bounces 2.3% as RSI Hits Lowest Since 2018

Bitcoin Bounces 2.3% as RSI Hits Lowest Since 2018

Bitcoin rebounded 2.3% on June 11, climbing from a session low of $60,914 to a high of $63,200. The bounce comes as the Relative Strength Index drops to its lowest level since November 2018 — a level that historically has preceded rallies, but also one that reflects persistent bearish momentum.

The recovery held $62,000

By the time of analysis, Bitcoin sat at roughly $62,780. That means the intraday recovery managed to stay above the $62,000 mark — a level traders had been watching as near-term support. The move erased some of the week's earlier losses, but it hasn't exactly sparked a rush back in. Volume looked decent, but not explosive.

Technicals split

Indicators are giving traders a divided picture. Some oscillators on shorter timeframes flash oversold, which can be a setup for a bounce. On the daily chart, though, the trend remains weak. The RSI at these extremes is a rare signal — but it's not a buy button. One trader described the setup as “confused,” which is about as clear as things get right now.

RSI at an extreme

The last time Bitcoin’s RSI was this low, the asset was trading around $3,500. That was late 2018, near the bottom of a brutal bear market. Bitcoin eventually rallied to $13,000 within months — but that was a different cycle, with different macro conditions. The current market has its own baggage: inflation fears, regulatory noise, and a general risk-off mood. The low RSI doesn't guarantee a repeat.

For now, the market waits to see if this bounce can sustain itself through the rest of the week. If it slips back under $62,000, the low from earlier today might get tested again. If it holds, the next question is whether buyers can push past $63,200.
