Bitcoin Bull Market Engaged? 50-Week Moving Average Flips Bullish
For the first time this cycle, Bitcoin has closed a weekly candle above its 50-week simple moving average. Sean Hagan assigns roughly 80% confidence that this shift represents a true market regime change. During this Chart of the Day segment, he joins Grace Remington to examine why this particular indicator has historically separated bull markets from bear phases, what a second consecutive weekly close would validate, and the sole two instances in Bitcoin history when the signal failed. Supported by a nearly 10% weekly surge pushing Bitcoin past $86K, the current timing closely mirrors the traditional one-year span from a peak all-time high down to the cycle bottom.
