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.
