200-week MA FAQ
How is the 200-week moving average calculated here?
As the average of the last 1,400 daily closes (200 weeks × 7 days), updated every day. Charts that average 200 weekly closes give almost the same line.
Why does the 200-week moving average matter for Bitcoin?
Four years is roughly one Bitcoin market cycle, so the 200WMA averages out a whole boom and bust. The price has closed below it only rarely and briefly, mostly around bear-market lows such as late 2018, March 2020 and 2022, which is why it is often called a long-term floor. Nothing guarantees it will hold.
How is the distance calculated?
As price ÷ 200WMA − 1, in percent. The streak counts the consecutive daily closes on the current side of the average, up to today.
Where does the price data come from?
Daily closing prices (00:00 UTC) of Bitcoin from exchange public APIs: Binance spot BTCUSDT from 17 Aug 2017. Moving averages start once enough days of history have passed. The data refreshes every few hours, and today's close is the latest price so far. Each chart's data is free to download as CSV.
Is this a buy or sell signal?
No. These indicators describe how the price moved against its own averages in past cycles, and Bitcoin has had only a handful of cycles, so any pattern rests on very few examples. Nothing here is financial advice.
