Bitcoin is about to get a major bullish signal it hasn't had in over a year
Bitcoin is approaching a 'bullish alignment' where its 50-, 100-, and 200-day moving averages stack in a way that historically signals strong upward momentum. While analysts note this as a positive indicator for the cryptocurrency's recovery, they warn that past signals have yielded varying results.
Why it matters
Technical indicators like moving average crossovers are widely used by traders to predict market trends and inform investment strategies in the volatile crypto sector.
The simple moving averages of its price over the past 50-, 100- and 200-days are one “crossover” away from a full bullish alignment, where the cryptocurrency’s short-, medium-, and long-term trends al point higher at once. It would be the first since 2025.
That alignment is represented by the 50-day average sitting above the 100-day, and the 100-day sitting above the 200-day. It’s almost there. As of this writing, the 50-day average, at $79,495, is well above the other two. Meanwhile, the 100-day, currently at $79,493, his rising and on the verge of topping the 200-day at $79,539. When that happens, all three will be stacked in an order that showcases bullish momentum across all three time frames.
