Live price: [CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin) (Coinbase public spot as fallback). Times shown in PT. ## How to read it Each bar is a price range in US dollars, for example $70,000 to $80,000. A longer bar means Bitcoin finished more days inside that range. Lower prices sit at the bottom. Narrow brackets ($3,000) show detail; wide brackets ($15,000) show the big picture. The deeper-orange bar marked “← now” is today, counted at the live price until the UTC day closes. ## Where the numbers come from - Completed days use Yahoo Finance’s BTC-USD daily close, from September 17, 2014 onward. A scheduled GitHub Action stores each new close in [/bitcoin/history.json](https://andresblitz.com/bitcoin/history.json) and pre-renders the table above. - The live price for today is CoinGecko’s BTC/USD print, checked about once a minute. If CoinGecko rate-limits, Coinbase’s public BTC-USD spot price is used instead and named as the source. - If a request fails, the last good data stays on screen with its time. Nothing is estimated. **Reference only.** Historical prices from public sources, which may be delayed. This is not financial advice: no buy or sell buttons, signals, predictions or affiliate links. ## FAQ ### What does this chart show? Each bar is a US dollar price bracket, for example $70,000 to $80,000. Its length is the number of days Bitcoin closed inside that bracket. Use the slider to switch between $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $15,000 brackets. ### How is a day counted? A completed day counts once, in the bracket that contains that day’s Yahoo Finance BTC-USD close. Days follow the Yahoo daily series. Times on the page are shown in PT. ### Why does the current bar move? Today is not finished yet, so it is counted with the live Bitcoin price instead of a close. The page checks the price about once a minute, and if it crosses into another bracket, today’s day moves to that bar. It is shown in a deeper orange with a “← now” label until the day closes. ### Where does the data come from? Daily closes come from Yahoo Finance’s public BTC-USD series, starting September 17, 2014 (the first day of that series). The live price for the unfinished day comes from CoinGecko’s free public API; if CoinGecko is rate-limiting, it falls back to Coinbase’s public BTC-USD spot price, and the page names whichever live source is shown. ### Why does the history start when it does? Yahoo Finance’s public BTC-USD daily series begins on September 17, 2014. That is why the chart starts there and can show time spent from $0 up. Earlier years are not included; Bitcoin traded below $10,000 throughout that earlier period. ### Is this trading advice? No. It is a historical reference chart only. There are no buy or sell buttons, signals, predictions or affiliate links. ## Facts Daily closes [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BTC-USD/) (BTC-USD) Live print [CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin) Live fallback Coinbase public spot Brackets $3k · $5k · $10k · $15k History [history.json](https://andresblitz.com/bitcoin/history.json) Source [bake-btc-history.mjs](https://github.com/blitzandres/andresblitz/blob/main/scripts/bake-btc-history.mjs)
