Traders who overcome today’s hurdles will likely be looking for this week’s high at $21,700 over the weekend.

The chart suggests that if this level is achieved, many bulls will choose to take profits and exit their positions as the 14-day RSI is about to be capped.

This hurdle is 36.70 points on the Relative Strength Index, which is currently at 35, firmly in oversold territory.
