Daily chart for BTC/USDT (Source: CoinMarketCap)
Looking at the daily chart for BTC/USDT, the RSI indicator has also just crossed the RSI SMA line on this chart as well. However, given that the 4-hour timeframe is the smaller timeframe, there will have to be a decent and sustained price upswing on the 4-hour chart before it reflects on the daily chart.
The 9 EMA will serve as the resistance level on the daily chart at around $21,249 if a sustained positive price movement is created on the 4-hour chart.
