- Bitcoin’s weekly MACD bullish crossover flashes again, mirroring signals that sparked +73% and +33% rallies in 2024-2025.
- With BTC at $122k amid ETF inflows and macro easing, analysts target $160k by October end if history repeats.
- Traders warn: This rare below-zero cross below zero signals an explosive phase—position now or watch from sidelines.
In the volatile world of cryptocurrency, few technical indicators carry the weight of history like the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). On October 8, 2025, as Bitcoin hovers around $122,652 amid a minor pullback from recent highs near $125,000, trader Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) lit a fire under the community with a stark warning—or promise: “BITCOIN’S MACD SIGNAL JUST FLASHED AGAIN.” His weekly chart, splashed across X with over 37,000 views in hours, highlights green boxes of past glory: a +73% blast-off and a +33% follow-up, each preceded by that telltale bullish crossover. Now, with a fresh green query mark dangling over the current setup, the question burns: What’s next? An explosive phase, history screams.
For the uninitiated, MACD is the momentum maestro, plotting the dance between two exponential moving averages against a signal line. A bullish crossover—when the MACD line vaults above the signal—often heralds upward momentum, especially on weekly timeframes where noise fades and trends solidify. Merlijn’s chart, spanning 2024 into projected 2026, circles three such crosses in green: the first igniting a 73% surge from sub-$60,000 lows, the second fueling 33% gains amid ETF frenzy. Fast-forward to now, and the lines are converging below zero, a rare setup last seen in April 2025’s depths. Analysts echo the hype; a September golden cross on daily charts already whispered $160,000 targets, and weekly confirmation could turbocharge that to reality by month-end.
Context matters in crypto’s casino. Bitcoin’s at $122,710 today, up 1.47% in 24 hours but nursing a 1.7% dip from all-time highs, spooked by U.S. shutdown jitters and altcoin underperformance. Yet, inflows into Bitcoin ETFs topped $518 million last week, while macro tailwinds—easing Fed rhetoric, election buzz—align like stars. If October’s seasonality holds (historically Bitcoin’s strongest month), this MACD flash isn’t just technical tea leaves; it’s a battle cry.
Past crosses delivered 30-70% legs; applying that to $122k baselines eyes $160k-$200k by Q4.Skeptics point to overbought RSI and resistance at $125k, but history doesn’t stutter. Merlijn nails it: “History’s calling. Are you positioned?” In a market where FOMO feasts on fear, this signal’s a siren. Load up on dips, HODL tight—Bitcoin’s script is rewriting itself, and the plot twist is bullish.
