🔍 Bitcoin at a Critical Juncture: The 50-Week MA Test

Just analyzed some key market data that DeFi traders need to watch right now.

The Bitcoin Situation: We're currently testing the 50-week moving average for the THIRD time in this cycle. Why does this matter?

In previous cycles, the 50-week MA has been THE line in the sand:

Held as support during the bull run ✅
When it broke (2 weekly closes below), the cycle ended 📉
Next test became resistance, confirming the bear market

Right now? We're at test #3. Last cycle, the third test marked the cycle top. But here's where it gets interesting...

"This Time It's Different?" Yeah, I know - dangerous words in crypto. But the market structure might actually be evolving. We're seeing potential signs that this correction could be wrapping up.

Other Markets to Watch:

Gold: Overbought by nearly every metric 📊
S&P 500: Found support at the 50-day MA and looking to push higher
US-China Trade: Could be the catalyst for year-end rally (same pattern as March/April)

This Week's Catalyst: CPI data expected Friday (if it actually prints - government shutdown delayed it last time). This is CRUCIAL because:

Hot CPI = Fed might reconsider October rate cuts
Could impact December rate cut probability
Direct impact on risk-on assets like crypto

The Technical Picture: That potential breakdown everyone was worried about? Cancelled. We're now several percentage points above those systematic sell triggers that had everyone nervous.

My Take: The resolution of trade tensions + market finding support + Bitcoin holding this critical level = potential setup for a strong Q4. But watch that 50-week MA like a hawk. Two weekly closes below and we need to reassess everything.

What's your read on this third test of the 50-week? Different this time or same old pattern?
