- Bitcoin has formed a positive weekly RSI divergence near $63,000, with repeated closes above that level keeping price above the June low of $59,000 rather than extending lower.
- Bitcoin's current RSI setup resembles late 2022 and early 2023, when a similar bullish divergence — the RSI making a higher low while price printed a lower low — preceded the broader 2023 uptrend.
- Bitcoin funding rates across exchanges cooled to 0.02% from 0.1% at the start of June, signaling reduced aggressive long positioning in derivatives markets.
- Total Bitcoin open interest fell 19.5% from $25.96 billion on June 1 to $20.89 billion by June 21, exceeding Bitcoin's 11.4% price drop over the same window — a pattern indicating existing positions are being closed or liquidated rather than new leveraged bets entering.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $5.5 billion in outflows between May 15 and June 11, though the most recent two weeks' outflows slowed sharply to roughly $540 million.
- Long-term holders' realized supply reached 12.42 million BTC, a level historically associated with supply maturation and coins moving into stronger hands.
- Bitcoin's sales pressure metric has remained inactive for 1,256 consecutive days — the longest stretch on record — pointing to continued supply maturation alongside other signs of stabilization near a potential cycle low.
Why it matters: Traders watching for a cycle bottom now have three converging data points: a 19.5% drop in open interest outpacing Bitcoin's 11.4% price decline (deleveraging without aggressive new shorts), a sharp slowdown in ETF outflows to roughly $540 million over the most recent two weeks versus $5.5 billion across the prior month, and long-term holder realized supply hitting 12.42 million BTC. The RSI divergence pattern repeating the late 2022 setup is what makes the technical case actionable.
