Bitcoin Nears Bullish Moving Average Crossover for First Time Since 2025

Bitcoin is approaching a technical configuration that has not been seen in over a year. The cryptocurrency’s 50-, 100-, and 200-day simple moving averages are nearing a crossover that would align short-, medium-, and long-term trends in a bullish order.

The setup requires the 50-day average to sit above the 100-day, which must in turn sit above the 200-day. Currently, the 50-day average is at $79,495, while the 100-day sits at $79,493 and the 200-day at $79,539. As the 100-day average rises toward the 200-day, the market is nearing a full stack of these indicators.

Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus, noted that this crossover would restore the order of the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages for the first time since June 24, 2025. He stated that the signal confirms the recovery has endured, as the token surged more than 40% to $87,000 during the third quarter.

While the alignment suggests upward momentum, historical performance has been mixed. Past crossovers in 2020 and 2023 preceded major rallies, while others in 2024 and 2025 resulted in only modest gains or price declines. Subburaj emphasized that the crossover strengthens the case for the trend but does not guarantee its continuation.

Bitcoin’s recent price action has stalled near $85,000, a move attributed to a sustained uptrend in the U.S. Dollar Index. Traders are now looking to see if the asset can maintain its price above the 50-day moving average during potential corrections, which Subburaj identified as the more consequential test for a sustained bull-market structure.
