↪️ Crypto Market Cycles

Understanding crypto market cycles is critical to effective portfolio management and treasury strategies. Four key on-chain indicators for gauging market phases are:

  1. Price/Bubble and Price/Non-Bubble Metrics

  • Quantifies current price extension from red and green regression bands

  • Values near 1 indicate possible local tops or bottoms respectively

  • Shows decreasing amplitude in Bitcoin boom/bust cycles over time

  1. Total Cryptocurrency Market Capitalization Model

  • Logarithmic regression bands model overall crypto market cap over time

  • Upper band indicates regions of potential market cycle tops/bearish signals

  • Middle band provides a fair value assessment to identify bull/bear market modes

  • Lower band shows historical support levels that may signal undervaluation

  1. Bitcoin Price Logarithmic Regression

  • Logarithmic regression lines fit Bitcoin's price performance

  • Red lines fit 3 previous cycle tops to indicate possible future bubble peaks

  • Green lines fit non-bubble data to reveal prudent accumulation zones

  1. Relative Strength Index (RSI)

  • Measures momentum to identify overbought and oversold conditions

  • Divergence from price action signals potential trend changes

  • Failure swings above/below key levels flag impending market reversals
