Why people watch the 200-week average
The 200-week moving average smooths out about four years of prices — roughly one full bitcoin halving cycle. In past bear markets the price fell to around this line and occasionally below it (March 2020, mid-2022 to early 2023), so many treat it as a long-term floor. At bubble peaks the price has been several times above it.
The colours show how far the price was above the average on each day. This version colours by distance from the average; the original "heatmap" by Bitcoin analyst PlanB coloured by how fast the average itself was rising.

200-week MA: FAQ
What is bitcoin's 200-week moving average today?
$67,072, the average of the last 1,400 daily closes. Bitcoin at $80,574 is 1.20 times that.
Has bitcoin ever fallen below its 200-week moving average?
Yes, 5 times in our data since 2018. The deepest was 0.66× the average.
Is the 200-week moving average a buy signal?
Some long-term investors use it as a guide, because past bear markets bottomed near it. But the price has gone below it, and averages lag the price. It is not a guarantee or advice.
How is it calculated?
Add up the last 1,400 daily closing prices (200 weeks × 7 days) and divide by 1,400. We use 00:00 UTC daily closes; sites that use weekly closes get a very similar line.
These are ways of describing the price history, not forecasts. Past patterns can break, and nothing here is investment advice.
