Bitcoin Never Look Back Price

The never-look-back price is the highest past close that Bitcoin has not closed below since: a floor the price has held. For each day the chart draws the lowest close from that day to today as a step line under the price. It uses daily closes, not intraday lows, and our history starts on 17 August 2017 (Binance), so older floors are not shown.

On 19 Oct 2026 the never-look-back price is $82,116: Bitcoin closed there on 18 Oct 2026 and has not closed below it since. Today's close ($82,188) is 0.1% above it. Over the last year the lowest close was $58,625, on 30 Jun 2026. The floor rises while the price holds above it; a close below it resets it to a lower one. Like every indicator here it describes the past and is a model, not a forecast.

BTC price never-look-back price (lowest close from that day on)

Daily closes (00:00 UTC), not intraday lows: a wick below the line does not reset it. Our price history starts on 17 Aug 2017, so floors set before that are not shown. The chart plots every 7th day to stay light; the CSV has every day. Not financial advice: these pages describe what each indicator showed in past cycles and predict nothing.

Never-look-back price FAQ

How is the never-look-back price calculated?

For each day we take the lowest daily close (00:00 UTC) from that day to today; that is the step line on the chart. Today's never-look-back price is the most recent earlier close that no later close has gone below, which is also the highest such close. When equal closes tie, the date shown is the first of them.

Why daily closes and not intraday lows?

Closes are what the other indicators here use and they are not moved by a single wick. A short spike below the line during a day does not reset it; only a daily close below it does.

Why does the chart start in 2017?

Our Bitcoin price history starts on 17 August 2017 with Binance spot BTCUSDT, so floors set before that date, for example in 2015 or 2016, are not shown. Since everything the line shows is a later close, the values after 2017 are the same as on charts with a longer history.

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.
