Bitcoin's price (light) riding above its 200-week floor (blue), the gap between them shaded. It has spent almost its whole history above this floor — the rare dips below didn't last long.

  1. Where is Bitcoin versus its long-term floor?

    Near the long-term floor

  2. Is that unusual compared to the past?

    Lower than it has been 90% of the time across its whole history.

Understanding 200-Week Moving Average Heatmap

The 200-Week Moving Average tracks Bitcoin's price averaged over roughly the last four years. It's remarkably steady, and Bitcoin has spent almost its entire history above it — the rare dips below didn't last long. That's why it's treated as a long-term floor.

This page reads two things: how far above that floor price currently sits (close to it has been cheap; far above has been stretched), and whether the floor itself is still rising. In Bitcoin's early years the floor climbed fast; as the network matures, its climb has slowed.

The classic version of this chart colours each week by how fast the floor is rising — a 'heatmap' of the floor's momentum. The takeaway is simple: a rising floor that price stays well above is a healthy, maturing market.
