Bitcoin investors have had a tough summer, with the price of Bitcoin remaining largely stagnant. However, short-term traders may be able to take advantage of the situation.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) offers a great opportunity to capitalize on Bitcoin’s range-bound price.

On the other hand, when the RSI falls below 30, it indicates that the market is oversold and the price should increase.
