Current technical state from Bitcoin's daily chart, refreshed regularly. Open the live BTC chart for real-time updates and alerts.
Bitcoin is the first and most widely held cryptocurrency, launched in January 2009 by the pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. It introduced the concept of a decentralized digital currency secured by cryptography and maintained by a global network of mining nodes.
With a hard supply cap of 21 million coins and a halving schedule that cuts new issuance every four years, Bitcoin is widely treated as a digital store of value — sometimes called 'digital gold'. Its price action sets the tone for the broader cryptocurrency market.
We back-tested our signals on 5.0 years of Bitcoin daily price history — firing each on its trigger bar and measuring the move 7 and 30 days later. Bullish signals returned +4.4% over 30 days vs +1.6% for simply holding — a +2.8% edge.

Nine of twelve assets rose, led by ADA and AVAX, yet total volume plummeted as conviction faded.
The week's signal flow was mixed: 15× RSI overbought, 15× MACD bullish cross, 15× Volume spike — plus where the market stands now.
