Which phase of the cycle is Bitcoin in today?
The 3 indicators weighing most right now
- ▲ Fear & Greed at 26 (Fear) (pushes towards accumulation)
- ▲ Puell Multiple at 0.64x (pushes towards accumulation)
- ▲ Net exchange flow -1831 BTC/day (30d) (pushes towards accumulation)
The five phases of the Score
The Score condenses 10 on-chain and market indicators into a single -100 to +100 reading, classified into five phases:
- Strong Accumulation (+65 to +100) — historically depressed conditions: broad losses, capitulation, extreme fear. The rarest zone — it has not occurred since 2018.
- Moderate Accumulation (+30 to +64) — indicators lean towards undervaluation and accumulation behaviour. The November 2022 cycle bottom (post-FTX) read +50.8.
- Neutral / Transition (-29 to +29) — mixed signals, no clear regime. Markets spend most of their time here.
- Moderate Distribution (-30 to -64) — overvaluation and profit-taking signals dominate. The day before the November 2021 top read -36.7.
- Strong Distribution (-65 to -100) — extreme euphoria across indicators simultaneously.
How this reading is computed
The Score combines 10 indicators — own-node data (holder distribution, hash ribbon), MVRV, Fear & Greed, exchange flows, Puell Multiple, funding rate, Bitcoin dominance, global liquidity and price action — each normalized and weighted. The full list of ingredients, what each one measures and its data source are public in the methodology; the exact weights are not (the public backtest, not blind trust, is what legitimises the reading).
What the Score marked in past cycles
Backtested against 2018-2026 with the same formulas: the day before the November 2021 top it read -36.7 (Moderate Distribution) and the November 2022 bottom read +50.8 (Moderate Accumulation). It has also failed: the 2018 and 2020 bottoms and the October 2025 top stayed in Neutral — every miss is documented, with numbers, in where the Score has failed.
