Bitcoin has now entered a golden cross phase, a technical formation that often precedes extended upward price movement. This bullish signal occurs when an asset’s 50-day simple moving average climbs above its 200-day average, suggesting that near-term momentum is overpowering the longer-term trend and potentially paving the way for a sustained rally.
Bitcoin’s golden cross has appeared 12 times historically, with mixed outcomes, as analyzed by Decryptnews last week. Of these instances, only three maintained their validity through a full year, delivering an impressive average gain of 250% over that period. In the other nine cases where three-month data was accessible, the average return was significantly lower at 24.9%.
Despite the optimism surrounding the formation, the current golden cross doesn’t ensure continued bullish momentum. Historical trends show that premature bull traps have occurred three times more frequently than multi-year rallies lasting several years.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $78,650, reflecting a slight decline of 0.6% since midnight UTC, according to Decryptnews data.
