Long-term trend and support levels since 2019 (log scale). The 200-week average has acted as a floor in past cycles.
What is the 200-week moving average?
The 200-week moving average is the average of Bitcoin’s weekly closing prices over the last 200 weeks, close to four years: about one full halving cycle. Because it averages a whole cycle, it moves slowly and is often treated as Bitcoin’s long-term floor. We show it with the 50-week and 100-week averages, which follow the price more closely.
How to read it
In past bear markets, the price has fallen to or briefly below the 200-week average, and those periods have been among the best long-term entry points. In this data, weekly closes stayed below it for much of the second half of 2022, with a low of about $16,500 in November 2022, and dipped just below it again in mid-2026. The 50-week average crossing the 100-week is watched as a sign of the trend turning.
Limits
Past support does not guarantee future support: the price can stay below the 200-week average for months. Because it changes slowly, it says little about short-term moves. Read it with the Mayer Multiple, which uses the 200-day average, and the realized price.
