Bitcoin (BTC) fell below the $28,000 level on Friday, as markets consolidated ahead of a key day of economic data. BTC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $27,583.72 in today’s session, which comes a day after the price rose to a high of $28,683.53. The decline came as traders were unable to sustain a breakout above the $28,500 level, following a nine-month high the day prior. Overall, it appears that earlier bulls moved to secure gains, as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) collided with a ceiling at 65.00. As of writing, the index is tracking at the 60.84 level, which is marginally above a lower floor at 59.00.
