Weekly data: week 42 of 2026 (12–18 Oct 2026)

Bitcoin sat 172% above its lifetime TWAP at its last published reading of week 42, dated 2026-10-18, down from 180% above on 2026-10-11.

Every figure on this page is a reading CryptoWeeklies published, printed with its own date: the last published reading inside the ISO week (12–18 Oct 2026), set beside the week before. The figures describe published readings and predict nothing.

Bitcoin against its lifetime TWAP

That reading set Bitcoin's price, $81,571.47, against its lifetime time-weighted average price (TWAP) of $29,937.60. It was the lowest weekly reading since 2026-09-13 (160% above); 84 of the 109 earlier weekly readings since 2024-07-14 were higher. The weekly record's highest reading is 420% above on 2025-01-26, its lowest 109% above on 2026-06-28. The TWAP is the time-weighted average of every daily close in the site’s price data, which for Bitcoin starts in September 2014; see all of Bitcoin’s live reports.

The ten largest coins

The site ranked Cardano (ADA), BNB, Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Solana (SOL), Tron (TRX) and XRP as the ten largest coins by market cap on 2026-10-20. 8 of 10 with a published reading inside both weeks were above their lifetime TWAP at the last published reading of week 42, against 8 at the last published reading of week 41. None crossed its lifetime TWAP in either direction.

How many coins trade above their lifetime TWAP

Of the 84 live coins with a published TWAP reading dated inside both weeks, 13 were above their lifetime TWAP at the last published reading of week 42 (dated 2026-10-18), against 16 in week 41 (dated 2026-10-11). Crossed below: AAVE (5% above to 7% below); BitTensor (TAO) (0.7% above to 9% below); Stellar (XLM) (7% above to 7% below). Paused assets (GALA, TON) are left out of every count.

Stocks in the top Gravity Risk band

For stocks and ETFs, Gravity Risk places each one's premium to its TWAP since January 2020, or since its first trading day for a stock or ETF listed later, on that asset's own range, from 0 to 100. It is a different model from the crypto Gravity Risk, on a different baseline, so the two are never counted together; each universe below is counted on its own members, named with its denominator, and a band is taken from the score as printed.

AI infrastructure stocks: 5 of 32 were in the top Gravity Risk band (Top stretch, 75 and above) at the last published reading of week 42, dated 2026-10-16, against 14 at the last published reading of week 41, dated 2026-10-09. Entered the band: Micron (MU). Left it: Amazon (AMZN), Arista Networks (ANET), Cognex (CGNX), Dell Tech (DELL), Equinix (EQIX), Alphabet (GOOGL), Intel (INTC), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT) and TSMC (TSM). The largest move was Amazon (AMZN), from 92.0 to 27.7. The highest reading was Riskified (RSKD), at 100.0.

U.S. market ETFs: 6 of 15 were in the top Gravity Risk band (Top stretch, 75 and above) at the last published reading of week 42, dated 2026-10-16, against 12 at the last published reading of week 41, dated 2026-10-09. Left it: iShares Russell 2000 (IWM), SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), Materials Select Sector (XLB), Communication Services Select (XLC), Consumer Staples Select (XLP) and Health Care Select Sector (XLV). The largest move was Health Care Select Sector (XLV), from 100.0 to 62.6. The highest reading was Technology Select Sector (XLK), at 88.0.

Quantum computing stocks: none of the 10 were in the top Gravity Risk band (Top stretch, 75 and above) at the last published reading of week 42, dated 2026-10-16, against 3 at the last published reading of week 41, dated 2026-10-09. Left it: FormFactor (FORM), Keysight Technologies (KEYS) and Defiance Quantum ETF (QTUM). The largest move was Linde (LIN), from 73.3 to 31.5. The highest reading was Keysight Technologies (KEYS), at 74.8.

Bitcoin-linked stocks and funds: none of the 18 were in the top Gravity Risk band (Top stretch, 75 and above) at the last published reading of week 42, dated 2026-10-16, against 0 at the last published reading of week 41, dated 2026-10-09. The largest move was Cipher Mining (CIFR), from 45.3 to 29.0. The highest reading was Hut 8 (HUT), at 45.6. Paused, and left out: GREE.

Cycle Position readings

The Cycle Position zones are quoted as the site prints them.

Crypto's Cycle Position oscillator, which reads Bitcoin and Ether together, stood at 43.6% (Moderate Zone) at its last reading dated inside week 42, 2026-10-17, against 46.2% (Moderate Zone) on 2026-10-11.

Each stock universe runs the same oscillator over its own members; the four readings sit side by side and are never averaged. They are the latest the site had published when this post was written, so they are dated after the week itself; each is set beside the newest earlier post’s reading for that universe that is dated earlier, where there is one.

From the receipts

BNB's weekly DCA regression band, as published through 2026-10-18 (116 weeks). On the published record, in the 90 weeks it read below 0.3, BNB was higher 26 weeks later 63% of the time, with a median change of +9%. Neighbouring weeks share most of a 26-week window, so those weeks are not independent tests. See BNB’s receipts.

How to read this

A week's figure is the last reading the site published inside that ISO week, Monday to Sunday, with that reading's own date; a crypto reading is usually dated Sunday and a stock reading Friday. A reading filed under a week it is not dated in is left out, and so is any asset whose data is paused. Week-over-week counts are made on the assets with a reading inside both weeks. The crypto TWAP is lifetime; the stock and ETF TWAP starts in January 2020, or on the first trading day of one listed later. Gravity Risk bands are 25, 50 and 75, read from the score as printed. This post was written once and is not revised. The figures describe published readings and predict nothing. Not financial advice.
