Van de Poppe has recently focused on technical signals in crypto markets. He highlighted Ethereum’s lowest daily RSI on record, describing it as a potential signal the bear market may be ending in a recent analysis. In a separate update, he identified $66,000 and $61,000 as key support zones for Bitcoin, emphasizing the role of the 200-week moving average in his commentary.
