72,534.5 USDT: the average of the last 200 daily closes of Binance spot BTCUSDT to 18 Oct 2026. The latest price is 14.0% above it.

What is the difference between the SMA and the EMA?

What are a golden cross and a death cross?
A golden cross is the day the 50-day SMA closes above the 200-day SMA after being below it; a death cross is the reverse. They describe the trend after the fact and are not a forecast. Nothing here is financial advice.
