Bitcoin’s 50-day moving average has moved above its 200-day average, creating a golden cross for the first time since November 2025. The technical milestone coincided with $3.8 billion in inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs over three weeks. Bitcoin has recorded 12 previous golden crosses, but only three remained valid for a full year, producing an average 250% gain over those periods. Across nine other instances with available three-month data, the average gain was 24.9%. The pattern has generated premature bull traps three times as often as sustained multi-year rallies, making it an imperfect standalone indicator. The report cited Bitcoin at $78,564.82, while CoinDesk data showed it at $78,650, down 0.6% since midnight UTC.
