To do the technical analysis of these seven Bitcoin Future ETFs, we use five prime technical indicators: Williams % Range (20 Days), MACD (15 Period), 20-Day Moving Average, RSI (30 Days) and 20-Day Volatility.

The Williams % Range (20 Days) indicates that BTF, BITS, DEFI, and BETE are moving towards the overbought territory. This means that a price correction or reversal could be on the horizon. BITO, ARKA and BETH are neither in the overbought, nor in the oversold territory. 

As per the MACD (15 Period) indicator, all the ETFs show bearish trends, because none of them show positive value. When the MACD is in the negative range, it indicates that the shorter-term moving average is below the longer-term moving average.

The 20-Day Moving Average suggests that only ARKA is in the bullish phase, as the current value of none of the others outperform its average value. 

The RSI (30-Days) indicators convey that all the ETFs remain in the bullish territory, as the RSI value of every ETF is either 50 or above 50.      

As per the 20-Day volatility analysis, BITS and BETH enjoy comparatively lower level price fluctuations. BTF and BETE have higher level price fluctuations, and so have potential for sharp price movements.

As per the Williams % Range (20 Days) indicator, almost all the ETFs are near the oversold territory. The Williams % range (20-days) value of every ETF is below 46. An oversold condition may signal that the asset has fallen rapidly, suggesting a potential upward price reversal.

The MACD (15-Period) also indicators a bullish trend for all the ETFs, as all of them have positive values, suggesting that their short-term moving averages are above their longer-term moving averages.

The 20-Day Moving Average indicator does not favours any ETFs, as the current price of every ETF is below its 20-Day MA value. 

According to the RSI (30 Days) indicator, all of the ETFs display uptrend, as none of them have an RSI value below 55. 

The 20-Day Volatility indicator suggests that ARKB, with 64.92% 20-day volatility, has the lowest level of price fluctuations compared to the rest, and BITB, with 65.88% 20-day volatility, has the highest.
