The 200-day SMA is widely seen by many, including Coinbase, as the barometer of long-term trends. A sustained move above the average is considered bullish momentum.
As of writing, XRP, BTC, BNB, ADA, TRX, SUI, traded comfortably above their respective 200-day SMAs, signaling a bull market. Meanwhile, ETH, SOL, DOGE and LINK remained below the average, data from TradingView show.
