Action Items
- RIOT: +23.4% 7D breakout. RSI 62, up trend. Best momentum in crypto. +8.8% vs SMA200. Entry on SMA20 pullback ($14.11).
- BTC: RSI 60 is the first positive momentum signal in months. +7.5% 7D. Death cross persists. Watch for SMA50 reclaim ($68,978) as trend confirmation.
- ETH: Weak-up trend intact. +6.7% 7D. -24.2% vs SMA200 is still deep structural damage. Not a buy yet.
- COIN: -4.7% 7D reversal while crypto bounces. Broken chart. -40% vs SMA200. Avoid.
- MSTR: -48.5% vs SMA200. Structurally destroyed. Avoid.
- Mining thesis: RIOT, MARA, CLSK all weak-up trend. Mining equities leading crypto recovery. If BTC holds $70K+, miners are the leveraged play.
