Technical Analysis
BitMine remains above several key short-term moving averages despite Wednesday’s decline.
The stock traded about 9.4% above its 20-day simple moving average of $25.11 and 30.5% above its 50-day SMA of $21.05.
However, the longer-term setup remains mixed. The 50-day SMA remains below the 200-day SMA of $22, keeping the January “death cross” intact.
