Indicators

Live readings and explanations for the thermometer’s nine indicators: mining cost, weekly MACD, Mayer, 200W MA, Fear & Greed and more.

How to use the indicator library

The indicator library groups common Bitcoin indicators into on-chain, cycle, market, ETF and in-house categories. Each indicator has its own explainer covering how it works, the formula, common readings and limits; the site’s cycle score, top-risk and entry-opportunity readings update live.

Key points

Data and limits

Some indicators rely on third-party on-chain data with different update frequencies; the method behind the site’s own scores is published on the methodology page. All indicators are historical statistics, and thresholds that worked before can fail.

Common questions

Which indicator is the most accurate?

No single indicator is reliably the best. Valuation, cycle and sentiment indicators measure different things; readings carry more weight when several independent indicators point the same way.

How is the site’s cycle score calculated?

The cycle score combines several published valuation and trend indicators into a 0–100 reading. The indicators, weights and data sources are documented on the methodology page; it describes historical position and does not predict prices.
