Bitcoin closes above 50-week moving average for first time since November 2025
Summary
Last week, Bitcoin ($BTC) closed above its 50-week moving average for the first time since November 2025, an event traders are interpreting as a bullish signal that confirms the end of a prior correction phase. On the breakout day, September 18, Bitcoin gained nearly 6% with a notable increase in open interest, which rose by 9% and has remained steady. However, despite the positive price movement, new and active addresses on that day did not significantly surpass volumes seen during earlier increases, suggesting that while network activity has seen some modest growth in social mentions and large-value transactions, it has not yet reached previous highs.
