Bitcoin bulls battle to reclaim $30K amid BTC price RSI 'reset'
Bitcoin (BTC) targeted new month-to-date lows at the July 18 Wall Street open as bulls refused to give up on $30,000 support.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price action dropping after a modest rebound from $29,675 — its worst level in July so far.
Little sign of upward momentum and a waning relative strength index (RSI) offered little hope for those seeking a return to range highs.
Traders continued to offer downside targets extending to $27,000, while longer timeframes now also looked increasingly fragile.
“After upside wicking beyond the ~$30600 resistance, BTC has finally been rejected to the point of losing the Higher Low,” trader and analyst Rekt Capital commented about the 1-week chart.
Others were keen to look beyond the current retracement, eyeing the potential for the 2023 uptrend to return.

“While Bitcoin consolidates below resistance, the RSI is almost fully reset. Find some bid here at support, and we can go for another test of the major resistance level,” popular trader Jelle added in part of the day’s social media analysis.
The RSI “reset” took the daily metric to levels last seen in mid-June, when BTC/USD still traded at around $26,000.
Continuing on the RSI theme, Scott Melker, the popular trader and podcast host known as "The Wolf of All Streets," saw $28,600 as a likely comedown target.
