  • Average RSI of crypto market is 44 which signifies that it has neither strong bulls nor a bearish theory.
  • Most altcoins are situated in the middle of the RSI heatmap, which means there are equal chances of going up as going down.
  • Because of this, the current moderate RSI readings suggest that there is serious potential for substantial value changes in either direction depending on future trends.

The heatmap of the most recent data of the crypto market RSI shows that despite the attempts of the numerous alts to rebound from last month, the overall indicator remains in the middle. It has been derived from the weekly relative strength index (RSI) that on average the metric is at a 44. According to this reading, what we have at the current time is not either bulls or bears running the markets over a shorter time frame.

Although many #altcoins recovered since last month, the average weekly RSI still sits at just 44.

This means that there's no strong bullish or bearish momentum on the higher timeframes.

It also means that if coins start moving bigger, there's a lot of room for them to do so. pic.twitter.com/HW2S7ZLjdS

The Risk of Market Uncertainty

RSI is one of the most utilized oscillators in trading to identify trends, speed and changes in price to determine whether the crypto asset is overbought or oversold. Generally, values above 70 are an indication that it’s overbought and there is high probability that the price will experience a downward correction while values below 30 is an indication of overselling and that the price is likely to go up. From this we acquire that current average RSI of 44 puts it into the mid range with an indication that it is not overbought or undersold which is a reasonable zone of the market.

RSI at 50 is a sign to be careful as there will not be any bullish pull to buy in negative news or events. While altcoins can have stagnant or downward movement with no clear upward momentum, it becomes risky to profit and sustain losses depending on the major swings.

Altcoins in a Neutral Zone

The majority of altcoins within the RSI heatmap are in the neutral zone, which currently dominates the majority of the chart. Tokens like TRX, ADA, and AAVE hover around the midpoint of an ascending linear scale, which indicates buyer and sell activities. Because of this absence of a definite pattern, players in the market may be required to sit and wait for more definitive signs to enter the market. Also due to the neutral reading, many altcoins have large potential to make significant movements up or down, in accordance with market trends soon in the future.

Of course, looking at the RSI data, one of the major conclusions that can be drawn is that the market is ready for changes. Still there’s quite a lot of altcoins that still have moderate RSI and that means if the sentiment shifts to becoming bullish many of these altcoins are capable of finding their footing in the market.
