200-Week Moving Average Multiple

BTC

Bitcoin price relative to its 200-week moving average, a durable cycle-bottom floor.

What it is

The 200-Week MA Multiple divides price by its 200-week (1,400-day) moving average, a line price has bottomed at or near in every past cycle. It anchors the bottom side of the read.

How it's computed

Divide price by the 200-week (1,400-day) simple moving average. It is log-normalized, and the long window means the leg only comes online after several years of history.

How to read it

The multiple approaches 1 at bottoms, since price has touched or neared the 200-week MA in every cycle, and rises to large multiples at tops.

At prior cycle extremes

Price has bottomed close to its 200-week MA in successive cycles (roughly 0.9 in 2015, 1.0 in 2018, 0.66 in 2022) and traded far above it at tops.
