Description

Tracks Bitcoin's position relative to its 50-week moving average (50W MA) — a key medium-term trend baseline used to assess ongoing market momentum and structural health. Historically, sustained price action above this level has marked strong bull markets, while prolonged periods below have indicated major bear phases or consolidation periods.

What this endpoint provides

A detailed technical breakdown of Bitcoin's trend state relative to its 50-week MA, including price position, slope behavior, and confirmation flags. The endpoint delivers a pre-interpreted summary that automations or AI agents can directly use to assess regime and momentum strength.

Interpretation & Use

The 50W MA is a cornerstone mid-cycle indicator. Above + rising_fast → strong bullish structure and momentum continuation. Below + falling → weakening structure or emerging bear regime. Confirmation logic: a confirmed bull triggers after two or more consecutive weekly closes above the 50W MA; a confirmed bear triggers after two or more weekly closes below. Automations can rely on is_confirmed_bull and is_confirmed_bear for objective regime classification, while summary provides a concise narrative for LLMs or dashboards.
