Bitcoin 200-week moving average
The slow four-year average that has marked past bear-market lows. Where bitcoin sits against it today.
How we calculate it
The simple average of the last 200 weekly closes (each Sunday's daily close, UTC). Some sites use 1,400 daily closes instead; the two differ slightly.
Daily closes: Bitstamp BTC/USD (UTC) from September 2011, and the blockchain.com price index before that (August 2010 to August 2011, approximate). Our calculations. Today's reading uses the live Coinbase price once it loads. Model figures are for Nov 14, 2026. A model, not a forecast: these lines describe the past. Nothing here says where the price will go. Not financial advice.
