Bitcoin closed the week ending September 20 above its 50-week moving average for the first time in 45 weeks. The cryptocurrency was trading near $81,000 after gaining almost 6% during the week and 29% over the past 35 days. The moving average stood near $78,115, making the weekly close above it more significant than a brief intraday move.

Galaxy Research examined 13 comparable reclaims since 2011 and found that Bitcoin avoided a new low in 11 cases, while successful breakouts have historically coincided with the end of major bear markets. The latest signal suggests the recent low near $60,000 may hold and raises the possibility of further gains, but it is not a guarantee. The outlook depends on Bitcoin holding above the moving average in the coming weeks.
