200-day average = the simple mean of the 200 most recent daily closes including that day (Yahoo Finance BTC-USD, 00:00 UTC day boundary).1 A stretch is a run of consecutive days on which the close was above that day’s average; it ends the first day the close is at or below it. Days = number of daily closes in the run; Last day is the final day above the average, and the run still going on November 9, 2026 is marked Ongoing. Change = the last day’s close over the first day’s, minus 1. Only the 10 longest of the 38 runs since April 2015 are shown. Observed facts, not a forecast.
