To see the Bitcoin's long trend, it's often recommended to look at the weekly chart.
By looking at the historical BTC-USD (BITSTAMP) chart (especially looking closely at the 10 & 50-week moving average), we can see clear patterns.
To sum:
1. When the 10-week moving average goes down and meets the 50-week moving average, there's a bear market. (The death cross)
2. When the 10-week moving average goes up and meets the 50-week moving average, there's a bull market. (The golden cross)
Please verify with the BITSTAMP BTC-USD chart to see the historical movement of BTC from 2014 to now (which I've indicated with blue arrows).
