Despite the rejection, the daily RSI is still bullish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a favorite among traders for assessing momentum to guide their asset acquisition or disposal decisions.

If the RSI reading is above 50 and the trend is upward, bulls still have an advantage, but if the reading is below 50, the opposite is true. The indicator is above 50 and increasing, both signs of a bullish trend.

BSV Price Prediction: Is Increase a Sign of Things to Come?

The daily timeframe for BSV shows a significant increase. This bullishness is not validated by the longer-term weekly timeframe. The main reason for this is that the cryptocurrency still trades well below the $50 horizontal resistance area.

The $50 area is the most important one for BSV, since it acted as the all-time low support since 2018 before the price finally broke down in November 2022. Now, the area provides resistance, and was confirmed as such in June 2023.

Also, the RSI is right at the 50 (red circle), an area that could cause a rejection.

Therefore, the BSV price prediction is considered bearish unless the price closes above the $50 horizontal resistance area.

This is 40% above the current price. On the other hand, the closest support is at $25, this is 35% below the current price.
