Bitcoin (BTC) edged 1.8% higher to $77,813 on Binance today (Friday), two days after the Federal Reserve's first rate hike since 2023 failed to push the cryptocurrency through its $75,000 floor. The bounce comes with a technical shift Bitcoin has not shown since November 2025: the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) now sits above the 200-day line.

The golden cross turns the trend on my daily chart officially bullish. Price still has to clear the $82,614 ceiling of the consolidation before my $100,000 target becomes active.

Golden Cross Confirmed After Two Weeks of Convergence

On September 1, I wrote that the 50-day EMA was rising toward the 200-day and could produce Bitcoin's first golden cross since November 2025. The gap between the two averages was 3.17% at the time. By September 7, it had narrowed to 0.93%, as I noted in my follow-up analysis.

The cross printed on the September 12 daily close, based on my calculation from Binance BTC/USDT data. At the time of my chart, 08:07 UTC on Friday, the EMA 50 stood at $73,864.65 and the EMA 200 at $73,303.41, a gap of about $561.

A golden cross is a trend confirmation, not a price target. Bitcoin Bitcoin While some may still be wondering what is Bitcoin, who created Bitcoin, or how does Bitcoin work, one thing is certain: Bitcoin has changed the world.No one can remain indifferent to this revolutionary, decentralized, digital asset nor to its blockchain technology.In fact, we’ve gone a long way ever since a Florida resident Laszlo Hanyecz made BTC’s first official commercial transaction with a real company by trading 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas at his local Papa John’s.One could now argue that While some may still be wondering what is Bitcoin, who created Bitcoin, or how does Bitcoin work, one thing is certain: Bitcoin has changed the world.No one can remain indifferent to this revolutionary, decentralized, digital asset nor to its blockchain technology.In fact, we’ve gone a long way ever since a Florida resident Laszlo Hanyecz made BTC’s first official commercial transaction with a real company by trading 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas at his local Papa John’s.One could now argue that Read this Term had already climbed from July lows below $60,000 before the averages met, so the signal says more about the direction of the trend than about the size of the next move.
