1× means price sits exactly on its 350-day average, and below that is the cheap side. The dashed lines are the ceilings, the average multiplied by 1.6, 2, 3 and 5, which past peaks have stalled near. Equal steps on the scale are equal percentage moves, so the whole history fits one view.

Bitcoin price uses its own scale on the right. Compare the timing of the moves, not how far apart the two lines look.

Right now

Bitcoin is above its 350-day average but still under the first ceiling, with room to run before it looks stretched.

At the 28 Sep 2026 close, price was $83,463 against a 350-day average of $78,334, 1.07× that average.

Each rung is Bitcoin's 350-day average multiplied by a number. Price has to climb the ladder to reach the levels that have marked past tops, and the rungs themselves rise over time.

What changed

Price crossed its 350-day average over the past 31 days, since 28 Aug 2026, up from 0.95× to 1.07×.

Against its own history

Price has closed under its 350-day average on 1,858 of the 5,569 days since July 2011, 33% of them.

Across the same 5,569 days, 1,417 reached 1.6× or more, 810 reached 2× or more, 324 reached 3× or more, 78 reached 5× or more. The higher the rung, the rarer the visit, which is why the top ones mark past peaks rather than levels price cannot pass.

What to watch from here

  • Price stands at 1.07× its 350-day average, which is $83,463 against $78,334. The next rung up is first ceiling at $125,334, a rise of 50.2% away.
  • Every rung is the 350-day average multiplied by a number, so they all rise as the average rises. The top ceiling stands at $391,669.
  • Watch whether price reaches the first ceiling, or eases back under the average.

How to read it

The ceilings are a rough map of how much room Bitcoin has before it reaches levels that have marked past tops.

They are not promised turning points, and price has closed above the top one before. Because they rise with the average, an old peak price is not the same ceiling now.

Understanding
Golden Ratio Multiplier

Where it stands today

Bitcoin's price is 1.07× its 350-day average as of .

What does this chart measure?

The Golden Ratio Multiplier starts from Bitcoin's 350-day average price, the average of the last 350 daily closes, and multiplies it by a ladder of numbers: 1.6, 2, 3 and 5. Each one draws a rising ceiling. The line on the chart is price divided by that average, so 1× is the average itself and 2× is twice it, every day since July 2011.

Why those numbers?

They come from a set of numbers where each is roughly the one before multiplied by the golden ratio, about 1.618. That is where the name comes from. What makes them worth drawing is not the arithmetic but the record: across past cycles, price has tended to stall near one of these lines before turning down, the lower ones in some cycles and the higher ones in the biggest runs.

How often does price reach the top ceiling?

Rarely. Price has closed at 5× the 350-day average or more on 78 of the 5,569 published days, 1% of them. That is why the top rung marks where past peaks formed rather than a level price cannot pass. It has closed above it, and it has turned down well below it.

Why is the scale squeezed?

Bitcoin has closed at a third of its 350-day average and at nearly twelve times it. The chart uses a scale where equal steps are equal percentage moves, so the early years and the recent ones share one view instead of the recent ones being pressed against the floor. The legend and the tooltip print the exact reading.

Do the ceilings stay where they are?

No. Every rung is the 350-day average multiplied by a number, so all of them move as the average moves. On 28 Sep 2026 the average stood at $78,334 and the top ceiling at $391,669. An old peak price is not the same ceiling now, which is the main thing to hold on to. It is a guide, not a guarantee, and it is not advice to buy or sell.

How is this different from the long-term corridor?

The corridor fits one curve through every daily price since Bitcoin began and puts a range around it. This page builds its levels from a 350-day average instead, so it reacts to the last year rather than to the whole history. Open the long-term corridor.
