Riot Blockchain Breaks the 50-day SMA

Long
NASDAQ:RIOT   Riot Platforms, Inc.
Bitcoin miner Riot Blockchain has been skidding lower since February, but now it could be ready to move again.

The main feature on its chart is its jump above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) on July 26. It’s formed a tight consolidation pattern above the line since. The current action differs from a moment like early July, when it failed to hold above that line.

Next, RIOT’s 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) just crossed above the 21-day EMA.

Third, prices recently tested and held the 200-day SMA.

The other question for RIOT is obviously your outlook for Bitcoin, which just had its biggest two-week gain since March. It’s now making higher lows as it consolidates around $40,000. If prices continue higher from here, RIOT could break its five-month downtrend and head back toward their 2021 highs.
