Bitcoin is showing a structural shift never recorded in prior market cycles, according to comparative weekly charts shared by analyst SuperBro on X as well as recent price action data. They compare Bitcoin’s weekly performance across 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026 using BTCUSD data from Bitstamp on TradingView.
These graphs focus on the interaction between the 100-week exponential moving average and the 100-week simple moving average. Historically, the moving averages crossed during deep bear markets and preceded sharp declines. This cycle presents a different configuration, with Bitcoin trading well above prior breakdown levels while short-term momentum strengthens.
