Bitcoin’s Bull Cross Triggers: Technicals Scream ’Buy’ as Momentum Builds

Bitcoin just flashed its most reliable uptrend signal—and this time, it’s got backup. The 50-day moving average sliced through the 200-day like a hot wallet through weak security, confirming what traders call a ’golden cross.’

Why it matters: These crosses have preceded every major BTC rally since 2015. The last one? Just before the 2023 120% pump. Now volume’s rising as institutional money—always late to the party—starts piling in.

The catch: Exchanges are seeing massive BTC withdrawals. Either whales are going long-term cold storage... or prepping to dump on retail (again). Either way, the technicals say one thing: The trend is your friend—until Wall Street ’discovers’ crypto and ruins everything.

BTC’s bull cross is consistent with other indicators like the MACD, suggesting the path of least resistance is on the higher side.

That said, an interim drop below $100,000 cannot be ruled out, as on-chain data show influential market participants have turned cautious.

The chart shows BTC’s price rally has stalled in the $101,000-$107,000 range. A downside break could trigger more profit-taking, potentially deepening the bull market pullback to support at $98,000.
