BTC BTC Price Search Interest: 19
How often people worldwide typed “BTC price” and “bitcoin” into Google, each on its own 0–100 scale where 100 is that phrase’s busiest week we store. Bitcoin’s price sits beside both lines so you can see whether the crowd’s attention heated up with the price.
**Two phrases, two lines.** Google’s own measure of how much of worldwide web search each week was the phrase “BTC price”, and separately the word “bitcoin”, each rescaled so that phrase’s busiest week in the stored five-year window equals 100.
**“BTC price” is the impatient question** — what someone types when they want to buy or sell right now. **“bitcoin” is the curious one** — the broad name, searched by newcomers and news readers alike.
Read both lines against the price. **For example,** “BTC price” sat in the teens for most of a quiet year and then jumped toward 100 in the week the price broke its old high — that is many times more people asking the price than in an ordinary week, the classic sign the crowd has arrived.
A rally with a **quiet “BTC price” line** means the crowd has not shown up yet; a **spike after a sharp fall** is fear, not greed — people check the price when they are worried too.
Google Trends, worldwide, web search, one request per phrase (“BTC price”, “bitcoin”), past five years, one number per completed week (0–100). We copy that week’s number onto each of the seven UTC days of the week so the lines sit beside daily price.
**The two lines are not on a shared scale.** Each phrase is scored against its own peak; compare their shapes and timing, never add them.
Google rescales the window, so the same week can show a different number if the window changes. A 0 means “too few searches to count”, not proof that nobody searched.
**Refreshed once a day.** Google publishes weekly, so the newest completed week can be up to seven days old and still be current. Google refuses bare server requests (HTTP 429); our server performs the cookie handshake Google expects before asking, and if Google still refuses, it keeps the last stored copy and tries again next hour.
