Bitcoin Approaches Golden Cross Amid Rising U.S. Debt Concerns
Bitcoin is on the verge of a significant pattern known as the golden cross, occurring shortly after previous technical indicators hinted at bearish market traps.
Key Insights
- Bitcoin is nearing a golden cross, a bullish signal, after a death cross that acted as a market trap.
- Historical patterns suggest this sequence preceded a significant price increase, as seen in late 2024 when prices rose from $70,000 to $100,000.
- A recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating by Moody’s highlights fiscal stability concerns, possibly increasing Bitcoin’s attractiveness as a hedge against economic uncertainties.
Bitcoin’s current price is around $104,228.02, reflecting market dynamics influenced by national debt worries. The expected golden cross signals potential upward momentum as the 50-day moving average surpasses the 200-day average, indicating a bullish shift.
The chart shows the BTC price dipping to about $50,000 last August before entering a bullish phase. Investors remain cautious as the ongoing trends are monitored closely for future movements.

On Friday, Moody’s reduced the U.S. credit rating to “Aa1”, expressing worries over an escalating national debt now totaling $36 trillion. This development has contributed to a broader market narrative about fiscal responsibility and future economic challenges, directly affecting asset prices including Bitcoin.
