  • 90 days after a golden cross, Bitcoin was higher 86% of the time with a median move of +19% across 7 events (a small sample); on an ordinary day it was higher 58% of the time (median +7.5%), so the result was better than usual.
  • 90 days after a death cross, Bitcoin was higher 63% of the time with a median move of +29% across 8 events; on an ordinary day it was higher 58% of the time (median +7.5%), so the result was better than usual.

Counted from 2,836 daily closes on Binance to October 6, 2026. Events cluster in a few market cycles and overlap in time, so these are small, related samples: a record of what happened, not a forecast.

A record, not a forecast. These are the same signals our screener flags, graded on Bitcoin's own history. Signals cluster in a few market cycles and the days after them overlap, so a handful of events cannot show an edge.
