【Block Rhythm】Bitcoin’s RSI (Relative Strength Index) relative to gold drops below 30, an extreme oversold level, which has only happened 4 times in history. The occurrences were in 2015, 2018, 2022, and most recently in 2025. Interestingly, each of these divergences ended with a strong rebound in Bitcoin.
Let’s take a closer look. At the end of the 2015 bear market, Bitcoin’s RSI relative to gold first fell below 30, directly triggering the super bull market of 2016-2017. During the 2018 bear market, the situation was even more exaggerated—Bitcoin declined over 40%, while gold rose nearly 6% against the trend. After the RSI fell below 30, Bitcoin rebounded from its 2020 lows, with a surge of over 770%.
In 2022, it happened again. That year, Bitcoin fell nearly 60%, but after the RSI dropped below 30, Bitcoin successfully rebounded and once again outperformed gold.
Now, in 2025. Gold surged 64% last year, and in just the first 20 days of this year, it has risen another 10%. Meanwhile, the RSI of Bitcoin relative to gold has once again entered the oversold zone—this is the fourth time this has occurred in history.
Looking at past patterns, every time this signal appears, Bitcoin’s subsequent performance has not disappointed. Will this time be an exception?

actually, let me break this down—the rsi thing is interesting but here's the thing: survivorship bias much? we're only talking about the bounces that *did* happen, not all the times oversold signals just... kept going down lol. ceteris paribus, historical patterns don't guarantee future results, and that's where everyone gets wrekt tbh

It has rebounded 4 times in the past, so this time it should rebound too... Wait, can it be the same this time?

All four previous rebounds ended in a turnaround? This time, it's definitely a bottom signal too, right? Why does this pattern feel more and more familiar...

It has rebounded 4 times in the past. If it doesn't rebound this time, it would be unreasonable.

The historical pattern is so obvious; this time, instead of rebounding, it's even more bizarre...

It has rebounded 4 times in history, so it should rebound this time too... Any break below 30 is an opportunity to buy the dip.
Bitcoin's RSI relative to gold drops below 30 again: in the past 4 oversold instances, strong rebounds followed. Will history repeat this time?
