  • Bitcoin Below 200-Week Average Historically Yields Over 100% Returns, Kraken Says
    June 18, 2026, 3:20 AM EDT. Bitcoin recently dipped below its 200-week simple moving average (SMA) of $62,358, a key long-term trend indicator, before rebounding, says Kraken's Chief Economist Thomas Perfumo. Historically, closing below this SMA-which happens about 10% of trading days since mid-2017-has marked strong buying opportunities. Buyers entering near this level have achieved median returns exceeding 113% after one year and 313% after two years. Bitcoin trades at around $63,900, just above the 200-week SMA, suggesting a potential bullish trend continuation.
