Crypto Scan — August 14, 2026 Close
BTC's RSI cooled hard, from 55.3 to 41.7, while price slipped from $65,044.46 to $62,819.85 — the 30-day print flipped negative to -2.92% from +2.93%, and three of the four spot-BTC/ETH proxies (IBIT, GBTC, BITO) had their regime label downgraded back to collapse from downtrend, undoing last scan's structural upgrade. ADA fell out of overbought exactly as flagged last scan — RSI dropped from 71.4 to 49.4 — while LINK became this scan's standout riser, regime upgrading to pullback from downtrend on RSI 64.6 (was 52.4). MSTR and COIN both reversed their prior stabilization: MSTR's 30-day print flipped back negative to -4.54% (was +6.54%) on a -4.18% single-day decline, and COIN's 30-day print worsened to -11.21% from -3.61%. MARA continued deteriorating, its 30-day print widening to -25.14% from -16.06%, confirming last scan's flagged divergence.

Tier Analysis
BTC Dominance & Momentum (is it alt season?)
No clean alt-season signal this scan. On 30-day, some alts beat BTC's -2.92% (ETH -2.04%, ADA +5.88%, DOGE 0.00%, LINK +5.16%) while others trail it worse (XRP -9.91%, AVAX -4.03%, DOT -10.59%). On 7-day, the split is similarly mixed — SOL (+2.27%) and LINK (+9.66%) outperform, while ADA (-10.00%) and DOT (-7.32%) underperform. LINK's regime upgrade to pullback and RSI climb to 64.6 is the single clearest positive move in the coin tier; ADA's collapse out of overbought is the clearest negative one. That's an asymmetric picture inside the alt layer, not a coordinated rotation out of BTC.
ETF Flows
Three of the four BTC/ETH proxies (IBIT, GBTC, BITO) had their regime label downgraded from downtrend back to collapse, tracking BTC's own cooling. ETHE held its downtrend label, consistent with ETH's smaller 30-day pullback (-2.04%) versus BTC's (-2.92%). As with prior scans, the ETF layer shows no signal independent of its underlying coin — it is a pure price-tracking proxy, not an independent flow read.
Miner Health
MARA continued to deteriorate — 30D widened to -25.14% from -16.06%, the deepest 30-day move of any equity or ETF in this scan, and RSI at 34.4 is the closest to oversold territory in the whole universe. RIOT and CLSK both cooled on 30D (-5.42% and -14.44% respectively) but held their regime labels (pullback and downtrend). CLSK was the lone positive mover on the day, +4.95%. BITQ tracked the basket average with the smallest moves. All four miners retain their golden cross, meaning the long-term structural read hasn't broken despite the near-term weakness.
MSTR/COIN As Bellwethers
Both reversed the stabilization flagged last scan. MSTR's 30-day print flipped back negative (-4.54%, was +6.54%) on a -4.18% single-day drop — the largest single-day decline of any name in this scan (CLSK's +4.95% was the largest move overall, but the only positive one) — and its 3-month print deepened further to -47.56% from -46.69%. COIN's 30-day print worsened to -11.21% from -3.61%, undoing last scan's post-crash bounce. Both remain death-crossed and in collapse regime; as risk-appetite bellwethers, both point the same direction as BTC's own cooling this scan — down, not sideways.
Key Levels
Support shelves are only populated for five names this scan: LINK $8.32, MARA $8.41, RIOT $17.95, CLSK $11.58, BITQ $21.89 — each sits close under current price, making them the nearest technical floors in the equities/coin tiers with a shelf on record. DOT's -84.12% and ADA's -82.08% off their 52-week highs remain the widest drawdowns in the coin tier. MARA's -60.72% is the deepest in the equities tier outside MSTR (-74.51%) and COIN (-61.73%); RIOT's -36.64% is the narrowest.
Risk Gauge (RSI extremes, correlation to risk assets)
No name in this universe is RSI-oversold (<30) or RSI-overbought (>70) this scan — the extremes from last scan's ADA print (71.4) resolved back to neutral (49.4). MARA (34.4) and XRP (35.1) sit closest to the oversold line; LINK (64.6) sits closest to overbought. This crypto.json summary carries no cross-asset field, so a direct correlation-to-equities read isn't computable from this data; reading crypto purely as its own risk-appetite gauge, the uniform cooling across BTC, the ETF proxies, and both equity bellwethers (MSTR, COIN) this scan reads as a broad pullback in risk appetite from last scan's genuine risk-on read — not a capitulation (no oversold prints), but a clear reversal of direction.

What To Watch Next
| Watch | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Whether BTC's RSI keeps cooling toward oversold (<30) | Currently at 41.7 after a sharp drop from 55.3; no coin is oversold yet |
| Whether IBIT/GBTC/BITO's regime downgrade extends to ETHE | ETHE was the one proxy that held its downtrend label this scan |
| LINK's next print | Only regime upgrade this scan — a second confirming print would resolve whether it's a genuine divergence or a one-off |
| MSTR and COIN's next prints | Both reversed last scan's stabilization; watch for whether the reversal continues or stalls |
| MARA's continued divergence from RIOT and CLSK | Deepest 30D print in the universe and still widening, while the rest of the miner basket held its regime labels |
| Whether XRP's regime downgrade to collapse deepens or stabilizes | 30D widened to -9.91% from -3.67%, its second consecutive scan of separate weak-signal behavior |
