Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $89,200 at press time, posting a 1% rise over the past 24 hours. Still, one technical pattern is raising concerns. A crossover between two key weekly moving averages has taken place, something that has often marked the start of weaker price periods in the past.
Moving Average Crossover Returns
The 21-week exponential moving average (EMA) has crossed below the 50-week EMA, according to a chart shared by analyst Rekt Capital. This pattern has appeared during earlier market cycles. In both 2018 and 2022, Bitcoin followed a similar structure, and it plunged soon after.
The same crossover is now happening again in early 2026. Though BTC remains above $89,000, this setup has not been favorable in past cycles. It often marked a shift to slower growth or deeper corrections. Traders are now watching to see if history repeats or if the market behaves differently this time.
Meanwhile, on January 27, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $147 million in net outflows
