PlanB 200WMA Indicator

200-Week Moving Average (200WMA) Indicator

Summary

The 200-Week Moving Average (200WMA) is a long-term Bitcoin valuation benchmark.

  • It smooths out price action by averaging the last 200 weeks.

  • Serves as a “floor” indicator during bear markets.

  • Highlights long-term trend growth independent of short-term volatility.


Steps to Use the 200WMA Indicator

1. Understand the concept

  • Moving average: Arithmetic and geometric versions are used.

  • Time horizon: 200 weeks ≈ 4 years (one halving cycle).

  • Purpose: Identify Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory.

2. Interpret the 200WMA Chart

  • Black line: 200-week arithmetic mean.

  • Gray line: 200-week geometric mean.

  • Colored dots (BTC Price): Represent months until halving

3. Analyze Historical Patterns

  • Bear market lows: Price often touches or slightly dips below 200WMA

  • Bull markets: Price remains far above the moving average.

  • Trend growth: 200WMA steadily rises, reflecting adoption and scarcity.

4. Make Decisions

  • At or near 200WMA: Historically strong long-term accumulation zones.

  • Above WMA: Reflects confidence, but watch for overheating.

  • Compare arithmetic vs. geometric: Provides different valuation lenses.

Tips

  • Use 200WMA as a macro floor model.

  • Track deviations to identify overvaluation or undervaluation.

  • Combine with RSI to align timing with momentum.

  • Monitor halving dots to anticipate supply-driven cycles.

  • Prefer log scale charts to view exponential growth clearly.
