0611 GMT - Bitcoin is in an uptrend, based on its daily chart, StoneX's Matt Simpson says in commentary. Given $80,000 is now within reach, "it would be surprising not to see [bitcoin] at least test that level, with the potential for choppy, two-way volatility around it," the senior market analyst says. While a small bearish divergence has formed on two-day and 14-day relative strength index indicators, the 14-day RSI has yet to reach overbought territory, he says. This leaves the door open for bitcoin to rise above $80,000 before any meaningful pullback takes hold, the analyst adds. Bitcoin is little changed at $78,296.00, FactSet data show.
