Bitcoin has moved back above its 50-week moving average for the first time in 45 weeks, according to a Sept. 21 post cited by BlockBeats from Galaxy head of research Alex Thorn. Thorn said that, historically, Bitcoin reclaiming the 50-week MA has often been treated as an important confirmation signal that a bear market bottom is already in place. He also noted that BTC has gained about 29% over the past 35 days. The update focuses on Bitcoin’s weekly closing level rather than an intraday move, highlighting a technical threshold that market participants often watch closely. Thorn’s comment did not add a forecast beyond that historical observation, but framed the move as a level that has previously carried weight in assessing whether downside conditions had run their course. BlockBeats published the item on Sept. 21.
